ASIDE FROM HAVING A CIG. IN YOUR MOUTH ...I BROKE THE 12mm BOLT IN HALF.IT WAS ALMOST RUSTED THROUGH AND *snap*.THE BOLT HEAD BROKE OFF AND THE END OF IT IS STUCK ON THE METAL STRAP BUT THE MOUNT WAS CLEAR SO MY TEMP. FIX WAS TO ZIP TIE THE STRAP AND SHOVE A RAG AROUND THE FILTER TO PREVENT IT FROM MOVIN AROUND.WHAT DO YOU GUYS SUGGEST?

 

You should be able to get a replacement bracket for the fuel filter.

 

Does fcp have em?im going to try and tap the bolt out first

 

I don't think so see if your local junk yard has an 850 you can snag one from.

 

thanks tech i owe you a beer!..somebody was parting out a 96 850 near me called them up asked if they had a few parts and never called back!?!?!? i will check the junkyard next week.thanks again

 

I hate rusted bolts, one of the downsides with working on old cars .

Just a test's to see if the 's work now!!

 

Hopefully you can find one cheap.

 

PB Blaster is your best friend when it comes to rusted parts!!!

 

PM me your address.

I there are two 850's in a yard about five minutes from me with mostly complete engines.

Well, they were complete until I got there.

I haven't touched the vast majority of them save for spark plug cover, throttle linkage, and other minor things.

So, I might be able to get it off for you.

 

I bet with all the beers people owe you (TECH), you would have a few Kegs!
