Where can I find OEM screws? I was using a torque wrench to screw the lower plenum back into place and apparently it decides not to "click" sometimes so I broke the screw. So now i have 5 screws holding down my lower plenum! sweet!

THEN, as I'm tightening one of the screws on the outside of the plenum, it doesn't click again. So now I have broken screws that I need to extract and find replacements. Where would I find these?

 

what type of wrench were you using? foot/lbs or inch/lbs?

 

inch-pounds

 

make sure you have it a tq wrench in inch lbs. To remove the broke screw try this:

I saw it on TV.

 

why where using a trq.....and how many inch/lb were using

 

Sears makes a good extractor kit.

 

I have that kit...it's bad a##.

 

I assume at the Nissan dealer.

blah humbug

 

gubmah halb! So what are you going to do?

 

Ya know what I hate about the dealership? You'll go there for something small, like 1 bolt or gasket, but they make you buy the entire assembly to get the one little part you need.

There going to make you buy the entire engine block to get one plenum bolt....

 

most industrial bolt stores carry the size you need...call around and find one, they cost about 75 cents a piece

 

Go to a local Fastenal (Industrial Supplier) or Grainger with one of the bolts that you need and they'll be able to find you a replacement

 

Or contact motordyne, tony's always good to work with.

 

+1. Good idea...

 

i had to goto the dealer and order it from there...purchased 3 of them just in case i came accross any other accidents. took about 2-3 days to get

 

i would just hit fastenal most of their stores are great help. Thats where i buy 80 percent of my field supplies im a welder fabricator.
