So i decided to tackle replacing my tps today. Those bolts where on there good. One ended up stripping all to crap and the other one actualy snapped. Im lost. Where do i go from here? Am i screwed? Any advice will help. Thanks

 

lotsa kroil. wd40, gm heat valve lube, patience, maybe a pocket torch, and a good pair of pliers.

or take to a machine shop.

 

Heat up the screws to red hot and take them out with vice grips. I have a mini torch just for such jobs. You can pick one up at your local parts store. I even think one of those torch lighters will do the job.

 

vice grips

 

Didnt think of the torch. Ill try that and some vice grips. Thanks for the tip.

 

yea i'd try that first. if you can't get ahold of em though then you may want to try just drilling right through them. incremently moving up in bit size till they basically fall apart. if you do it carefully you won't mess up the threads.

 

yeah im scared to drill right now. I'll leave that as a last resort.

 

Dont drill it heat it up it will come out, trust me heat works every time.
