geekatrons Member 60 Member For: 13y 1m 14d Posted 19/07/12 11:40 AM Share Posted 19/07/12 11:40 AM Hello AllI am not very mechanically minded so hope that you understand what I am talking to. I have a 03 BA xr6t- I have noticed that there are 3 broken bolts that go from the air intake to the Manifold? they appear to be of a rubber compound and over time with engine movement I am assuming have split- Where do I get these from and how do I get the old ones out?Please help.

Can be bought from Fraud at an horrendous price. Can also be source from Ebay.Vice grips clamped onto the remaining metal part will get them out.

They had to order it in too. Just don't over tighten them and be careful when you pull off the crossover.

Would that cause any problems like vibrations or anything? Didn't think they really did much.
