When removing the brackey on the firewall that holds the MAP sensor, I broke the bolts. they were rusted to the nuts. Can the bolts be replaced and if so, what tool do I ned to get them out of the firewall? If they cannot be replaced, what other options do I have to fix this issue?

 

Just screw it back onto the firewall with self tapping machine screws.

That is a last resort. I would like things as clean as possible.

 

drill the broken bolts out, or, use an easy out and remove it that way. To drill it out, use a bit thats about 2-3 sizes smaller than the shank. drill carefully all the way through it. you should be able to spin it out, or collapse it and pick it out.

 

I will try the easy out first as it is in a positon that would force me to remove the intake manifole and no reason to do that if I do not have to.
