trippintl0 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 get under there near the moon thing, loosen the jam nut, and tighten the other nut to pull the whole thing tighter (you might need a backup wrench on the tiny little bolt - be careful, because I snapped mine in half the other day), then get in car, check it, once it's good, go back under and tighten the jam nut so it won't loosen.. I think nuts are 10mm, the wrench flats on the bolt are even smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trippintl0 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 i used to snap valve cover bolts all the time until I realized how small they were, then I stopped tightening them so tight. But yeah, I've had a few other things just break on me, but hey, the car is almost 30 years old, so it's not doing too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
