I was trying to raise my car up the other day, and all 4 of the bolts on my GC sleeves were corroded. As soon as I put the key in and turned the least bit it stripped each bolt.

I cannot loosen my sleeves. The GC sleeves themselves are but only a few months old - what gives?

Is this covered under GC warranty? I emailed them but haven't heard back from them. What could I do to fix this?

 

no one?

 

try using an extractor of some sort...i had one that seized on me and couldn't get it out so i drilled it out and called gc and bought a new collar...i think they were like 20 bucks each...if you can get them out with out ruining the threads use anti-seize so you wont have that problem next time...

 

ive never had this problem.

i dont torque the bolt down much either...

drill it out or cut it out.

 

yeah it wasn't torqued down much, and I had anti-seize on it
