I was changing my starter in my 2006 base model when the top bolt broke off. It's out about an inch so I can put the starter on and it won't move but it's not tight. Options ????

 

Drill it out.

 

Shut. The ****. Up.


Don't listen to this guy... it's sticking out an inch, grab it with vise grips and remove it.

 

Suck. My. Dick.

Try whichever way you want doesn't matter.
Whatever gets the job done.
I just know that the tight spaces inside the RSX engine bay can be a pain in the ***.

 

So you'd recommend trying to get a drill in there? Makes sense. Seems legit. There's an inch of bolt hanging out of the thread, did you read the OP? Why do people INSIST on giving shitty advice?

 

Have you ever taken an IQ test?

 

@JutJutsuka Did you attend "special" classes?

 

Elbow grease Leverage is MUCH harder to get inside the bay with the engine inside. Versus getting a tool to provide the torque. Easy Peasy.

At least that's my experience when working with my DC5. My life would be much easier if I had electronic tools versus tools that required me to use Elbow Grease. Due to bumping up against something in the way while trying to torque my wrenches. Such as a hose, part of the engine, some kind of object RIGHT in the way. Or ***** just in a spot where it's hard to utilize leverage with your arms/hands. Which seems to be typical with the RSX design. Especially the last time I tried to get to my A/C compressor.

 

You're stupid and lazy.

 

I scored pretty high on my IQ test.

I work 12hr days every week.
I do community service on weekends.
I still work on my own car and my GF's, did my own pest control to get rid of roach infestation which took 2 weeks to get rid of, work on my own electronics which is what I have a degree for. I pretty much do it all. Oh yeah I also still fit in time to train martial arts(since I am an active competitor).

I don't think I am stupid or lazy, but hey what do I know.
You probably know everything.

 

I know that taking a bolt out that is as easily accessible with an inch of 'grab' does not need a drill....not to mention a drill probably wouldn't fit in the area mentioned.

5 minutes with a dremel and the bolt could be squared enough so that something like vice grips would have enough bite on it to remove the bolt 'easy peasy'.

 

It's funny because him being stupid and lazy is causing more work.

@Jujutsuka do you just recommending JB welding a nut on the other side after the threads are drilled out?

 

Whatever works.
I've had to be creative to do things inside my DC5.

 

fixed that for you.

 

Or you could stop being stupid and download the FSM and work on the car how it's supposed to be worked on. A lot less hassle.

 

I already have Shop Manual for Acura RSX.
Like I said... the RSX has everything in hard to reach places unless you take off a whole bunch of ****.
Which it can be done without having to do it those ways that would require more time.
Just have to be creative.
My RSX runs fine and strong btw.
And A/C blows cold.

 

Lol you really want my attention don't you?

Do you want some dick too? You want me to dick you down? You acting like my G/F when she needs some dick.

 

That ugly chick in your profile pic? How many condoms you have to wear with that hoe?

 

Lol you are seriously the first dude Ive seen to call her ugly.

You must be gay.

 

Says the guy who was offering another guy his dick.

SMH

 

I didn't say "I" was going to dick you down.
You just seemed kinda cranky and attention craving like a bitch. So I was trying to troubleshoot what was wrong with you. Bitches love attention. Don't have to have a ***** to be a bitch. A Bitch is just somebody who wants attention from man.

 

I could see why you would think that... Yes, your girlfriend looks like a bitch.

 

Laaaaaaaame....
Whomp whomp whommmmmmmp.


Yep, shes my bitch tho'.

 

She looks 12.

You just got this thread locked up by the way. Good job.

 

Oh right, so all this is my fault.


No one but me was talking ****. lol.
And if she looks 12 to you. You must date some pretty rough *** looking women. If you do date... Just sayin' I don't know your personal life.
