Does anybody know how to replace a f22 valve cover bolt?


I have tightened the screw to hard and peace of the bold broke off and now I need help how to change the screw and where I can buy it?


Thanks

 

you say "bolt" and not "stud/nut" so i'm assuming this is the VTEC model..?

left or right?


similar sites are listed in the Accord FAQs page-> HondaPartsUnlimited is a good place to buy from.

 

left model

 

Ouch. I hate when that happen. It'll be tougher to do unless you've been extracting bolts all your life. Good Luck though. I've learn my lesson by using a 1/4" drive with a 10mm bolt. I hand tight them til its tight then uses the 1/4" rachet by holding the head of the ratch will tightening it down, doing it this way will let you know that its tight already if you're following what I'm saying.

 

do you khow how i can replace the bolt??

 

You just take off the valve cover and you'll see the bolt that's broke. Very easy to replace. Retorque to 10 ft/lbs.

 

but is it just like a screw??

how do i remove the broken bolt?

 

If it's # 14 stud in left model just remove valve cover and replace it.. simple.. Its not an actual bolt so its not inside the valve cover.

 

Are there any updates to this issue? I had the same thing happen and it looks like the only way to back out the broken bolt is with an easy out or removing the head and replacing the entire stud.

 

It's a bolt that goes I believe from the rocker arm on up through the nut holes in the valve cover that you put a nut on to hold the valve cover to the head. When you take off the valve cover you will be using a 10 inch box wrench to take em off. The two closer to the front of the car are easy as pie. The two towards the back of the valve cover(or car) are a little more tight to reach but are capable. If you broke one of the front two it's gonna be a breeze. If it's one of the back two, it'll be a lil tighter to get the wrench on it.

 

get the craftsmen bolt out set, and a drill, and your set, happend to me more that a few time's, that will take care of it.

 

There is no need to chisel anything out on this particular bolt. It has a head at the bottom of the shaft of the bolt that you can put a box wrench on to unloosen it.
