Yeah, thats what they're there for Agent. Just for the wheels. I'm lazy and don't like doing it manually if I don't have to.

 

what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger...

 

who needs torque specs....just turn the torque wrench untill you cant turn it anymore....no really sometimes they go crazy with detail in torque specs.....
bolt number 3b goes to 45lbs/in
bolt 3a 10lbs/in
bolt 4z 43645645634676575467lb/in
i just torque everything until i cant anymore...

 

Yeah, Pete tried that technique on his Skunk2 IM


In all honesty, you're method is not correct

 

BAH! Ive never overtightend or undertightend anything on my cars, ive got an inbuilt torque sensor.

 

Hey what's up guys/girls? I'm new to this site, please be patient.
I have a 2000 Civic DX Hatchback.
This is my second Civic - don't ask about the first one - long story!
Well I'm having one of the same problems that I had with
the first one - water leak - hatchback and passenger side
floor (front).
What should I be doing?????
Help!!!!!!

 

Ok, here's what you do:

First, calm down. Nothing productive ever came from a panic.

Second, you head on over to the new members section. Write up a post about yourself, your car and such. You can put your problem with the leak in there if you like, but it won't get as many views as other sections.

Then, you head over to.... hm... how bout the General Tech Help section... at least, that's where I would go. Then you write up a post about your leak with as many details as possible. Provide pictures if you can, those will help. Then you wait patiently. Sometimes responses don't happen right away. If anyone knows anything, they will do what they can to help. If not, then they wont.

Fourth, Welcome to the forums!! Enjoy your stay, don't feed the trolls, and fear the wrath of the mods!

 

me too

 

Well, it seems that it wasn't the bolts that was causing the leak. Apparently the gasket was shot, so I just went and got another gasket. We got one of the bolts out, with a technique he always uses, but hitting the broken bolt counter clockwise until it comes high enough to be taken out. So the other one has to be drilld out, but no leaks for now so it's all good.

 

So let's just say, in a completely hypothetical situation... if you happend to break a bolt but it's at the bottom, not the top... after you were done crying, how would you get the tiny little piece of bolt out?
