daniel_g Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Pair of vice grips should get it out mate if you dont have a stud remover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chops Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 im pissed, it was the last thing i was gonna do today after finding a bracket has worn through my intercooler piping that needs welding up, and it just snapped off with no force at all lol. also, my replacement thermostat says 75 degrees on it, whereas the one coming out says something like 83. what difference does that make?

daniel_g Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 It opens at 75°C rather than 83°C, not really that much of a difference compared to a low temp stat which is around 50 odd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
