Snapped stud for swing arm bushing

trickster123 · 02-03-2025, 04:58 PM

How can I fix this snapped stud I over torqued it and snapped it. There is no way to access the other side of the stud and there is another seperate piece of metal on top that is at angle hopefully I could fit a riv nut in there but i dont know if theres enough room. Any help is greatly appreciated. I finally finished coolant pump, Tstat, pipes and ofhg then break a bolt on the near last step fml.

Hammer it out. You can place rivet nut and a screw, or rivet stud and a nut, or simply bolt from behind and nut to tighten that. I did the same thing, and rivet nut worked just fine.
