Default what size bolt is this?please help!

I broke the top bolt on the front fork, behind the strut.. it is stuck inside the threads, coming out on the right side.. How can i get this out?

What size bolt is this, and where can i get another.


edit - also, the bolt boke off, right on the last thread, would it be dangerous to drive somewhere where i can get it put on a lift? what is the function of this bolt?

Thank you


to bad luck.

Damn, wish I had the sizes. I did that too on my first install. We went to the local parts store and got a replacement and got it to work. I then this year finally replaced it with the right bolt. I can get the part number from home, but I would check out http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com and look for the bolt dimensions.

17 I believe and it "king of" holds the strut in the fork. If you have a tap set you can always tap it to whatever size bolt you can find.

the bolt "pinches" the fork around the strut. You could drive around with it out, or stripped, or broken, or whatever, with no problems. Just don't rally the car and get it fixed asap.

Werd, i got it fixed, and just to complete this post..

The bolt size is 10x68

Since the bolt was sticking out the right side, i was able to take it out using a normal pair of pliers. Thanks guys!


Alright, now a new problem.. anyone got any good tips for taking out the rear bolts in the LCA and what not to get the rear struts out? they are STUCK in there hard as HELL!

I heated my rear LCAs with a torch a lil bit. I learned the hard way by snapping one.

I sprayed penetrating oil on them every day for a week. They came right out with my impact gun.
