&*^*ed up on my GT350 IM install, could use some advice/help.

[Zodiac]

So I was tightening down the large bolt for the fuel rails and it snapped. I'm at a loss what the hell to do. Anyone got some advice/help they can provide besides saying nope your fucked, because I know that as of right now.

Is the bolt broken off inside? Post a photo if you can. If there's a slight amount of the threads showing sometimes you can back it out with a screwdriver on the thread and very gently hammering on the screwdriver to back it out.otherwise you can look into a bolt extractor kit. Tons of videos on YouTube about how to do it.

Yeah I can't see it. I'm gonna end up just finishing up my install and running it to a local shop and let them do it. I'm so mad at myself. I tightened everything up and doesn't seem like it's moving.

Don't feel too bad. It happens all the time. That's why there's so many tools for sale for this same exact issue lol.

Cant count with both hands how many times ive done this, shit happens man.

I'll just bring it by the shop this week and have it dyno'd and have that bolt fixed. Anyone know the part number or bolt specs so I can grab another?

Give yourself a break man, we all know the frustration of messing up...release your anger and think about how it will be when it gets done!

I'm good. A few expletives and I felt better. Shit happens. I'll get it taken care of this week.

If you need help with what to do on the install you can ask me any question. I did a write up on the whole install

LOL. So what's next for you man? I saw you sold your car and you're still here.

Ive broken so many bolts off I cant count them between the cars. The 03 Cobra has snapped more bolts than any one human should have to deal with, including a fuel rail bolt.
