The thermostat housing outlet bolt that connects to the radiator snapped. Bottom hose on the radiator. Anyone know any good ideas on how to remove it? And where can I get the bolt? I called Toyota parts store from my area and they said I might need to get a new housing which is expensive. If I an just get that bolt off I'll be good to go. Thanx for any help.
PS. Don't buy the seal from autozone, it's the wrong size. It's what got me into this mess in the first place. |

Well I got the bolt out. Its a double theaded stud. I'm just gonna try to find a bolt to put in there. I actually work at a sheetmetal shop. If I had the tools I can drill the center and use a reverse threaded screw remover or easy out. But I would have to take the housing off.
Yeah next time definetely look at the size of the seal. Still need to put it back on though. Crossing my fingers. |
