Injector bolt snapped

(1/2) > >>

Range Rover Blues:
Sticking the head back on a 300TDi tonight and one of the bolts that clamps the injectors down let go with a bang.  I'm sure I'd checked and double checked the torque too.
Anyone else ever had this?

I'm going to need to replace it now  :evil:before I can finish.

bogie:
Shouldnt be to bad with an easy out?? Famous last words!!!

eugene:
happened to me at the weekend got it out with mole grips so wasnt to bad but still make the job hard

Range Rover Blues:
Managed to hammer a socket over it, all the banging loosened up the thread lock.

Looking at it the bolts are "necked" in the middle, making them weaker.  Is this deliberate?

Anyone know where I can get another, or will a normal stud do just as well?

bogie:
Normal bolt will do but alway better to put the right bit back. Just need one off another head,ive got one if any good to ya?
