broken bolt in rocket cover

[civic88]

well i've accidentally snapped the bolt whilst trying to tighten my rocket cover, jus wondering if anyone has an hints on how to remove the snap bolt?

Damn that hurts, take it to HO's Mechanic on hoxton park rd. He can fix you up.

you can remove the broken stud with a flat screwdriver. it wont be hard to turn ( if your lucky )

[civic88]

lol the stud is real deep i dunno if a screw driver can make it dat far

[Limo]

undo the rest of the bolts, take your rocker cover off and remove the broken bolt, its a double sided thread bolt with kinda like a nut in the middle of it. then replace it with a new one, i think they were ~$5 from honda

then just put everything back on and make sure you dont over tighten as they bolts are super strong and tend to snap

my bolts still snapped. let me know how you go. thinkin of doing this after. thanks

[BlitZ]

Mine snapped..

As per what Limo wrote
Its a double side threaded and can be removed.. but from memory it was $14 from honda..
fairly easy to swap..

[bennjamin]

is the bolt above a silver washer on the cam cover ? IF its broken , oil will slowly leak out of that spot so get it fixed soon

[civic88]

What you need is a tool called a screw extractor from bunnings or a tool shop,
1. Drill a hole in the snapped bolt and insert the extractor bit.
2. Hold the top of the extractor bit with a small shifter or spanner.
3. Slowly turn it anti-clockwise while softly tapping the top with a hammer.

And if done correctly it should come out nicely, make shure to clean up any metal shavings.

Thanks Guys and Girls

Just make sure when you replace the bolt, replace it with a sunken head so it is flush, cause you don't want to decrease the aerodynamic and streamline-inity efficiency of your Rocket Cover.

I am sorry. :p

But yeh, as Limo said. :thumbsup:

when i did this two 2 of my bolts took about 5 min to fix, i used a scribe and as per what they said just turn it till it comes out..... i did use a center punch and hammer to start one.... good luck mate.

[Aza]

ps u can always get the flat head and hammer it into the bolt, might make a big enough groove to turn...

if this is for b series, does anyone know the part number for this from honda?

[xtat1k]

i got the part, but its really short maybe its a long one. anyone can confirm this?

[zpreme]

the short one is for the 4 outer bolts holding the rocker cover on. the four longer ones will be the inner ones holding your spark plug cover on.

i tried getting a new inner one but the parts dealer kept telling me its the same bolts for the outter as well. it turned it being too short.

if you find the part #, let me know.

[ZeForce]

Part# 90014-PR3-000

hey zeforce, is that the part number for the four inner ones holding the spark plug cover on? i.e. the longer ones.

[ZeForce]

Yeh the inner ones, which also hold the cam cap down

[zpreme]

Thanks a lot, do you happen to have the part # for the four outter ones?

[ZeForce]

No sorry, I only had to replace one of the inner ones

[xtat1k]

is the outer one the short one ? and the inner one the longer one?

[Limo]

i got the part, but its really short maybe its a long one. anyone can confirm this?

for the dc2 vtir the inner bolt is about 4cms long and part number on packet is 90012-PM7-000

[xtat1k]

i've got the short one . but i think i need the long one? its for the inner one. cos wen u take the spark plug cover out theres another bolt under it and the short one doesnt look like it will fit 2 bolts on it.
