Patches Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 So i got my brackets to fit my civic radiator and while i was at it i decided to change the thermostat at the same time. While removing the housing i sheered one of the bolts and then the other one almost came off and sheered as well! Anyone done this before and know what did they do to fix it?

russ78 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I did this on one side also when i changed thermostat i sprayed up what was left of the stud with wd40 put a pair of mole grips on it and wound out what was left of the stud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
