You can eat **** and die. I just spent the past day trying to loosen the bolt which clamps in the fuel filter, but the previous owner or mechanic over torqued it. So the square nut broke off the plastic which holds it in place and it kept spinning. And for those of you who know the placement of the filter, you can't reach anything! I ended up having to saw through the plastic clamp and cut the bolt in half...

Let it be a lesson to those of you who are just beginning to work on a car; things don't need to be super tight! Everything has a torque spec and doesn't need 100 lb ft on everything.

God I'm super pissed; sorry for the rant.

 

...been there.. done that....

 

...you get a tshirt?

 

so tell us how you really feel about that lol

Dont worry, if you guys have done your Tbelt you know the bold that is on the fan bracket thats in its own little corner? yeah well stripped it and used a hammer and and old screw driver to turn it took me like 2hrs!!!

 

Which part? Over torquing? had an over torque? or eating and dieing?

 

dealt with over torqued bolts and probably sent out a few of my own...

 

good times ... nuff said
