Guest Roger NE Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) I gather you need to always use NEW bolts when re-attaching a Flywheel . . . (Out of interest, what's special about them, that you can't re-use them?) Does anyone know how much they are from Toyota for an N/A ? Given that they're likely to be silly money (for a bolt), anywhere I can get them more sensibly priced?

Guest Roger NE Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 i paid about £100 all in from toyota delivered for them Blimey . . . . So over £12 each !! I didn't even imagine they'd be that much . . . . Problem is I don't have any to re-use Anyone know of a cheaper source? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 You may find the ARP ones are a bit cheaper. If cap heads are available from a reputable source, with the right thread and grip length, or with a combination that could have the thread portion shortened, I would happily use those. Personally I re-use the stock bolts, but as you don't have any, that's no good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger NE Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Thanks Chris . . . well I've found out that the guy I'm buying the Flywheel from has 7 used bolts . . . . so I'm going to risk using those ! But that means I'm short of one . . . Does anybody have ONE spare s/h Flywheel bolt please ?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayfun.tugra Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Im not sure you should be using used bolts as they could have been over torqued and stretched excessively. Depends on the hands that have played with them. Bolt prices should really depend on how well they are engineered such as one for a panel cover (doesn't do much) and one that's in a active position of vibration.

Guest Roger NE Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) Of course you're right . . . . but sadly I'm on a very tight budget, so can't afford to pay more for the bolts than I have for the Flywheel ! And I've since spoken to several people who've re-used them, so I'm going to have to risk it and use plenty of Loctite So if anyone can help with a single spare used bolt please let me know Edited September 6, 2013 by Roger NE (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprahsuprah Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 You can re-use the bolts, make sure you measure up the bolts before placing them, their is a maximum of stretch that the bolts may have, the maximum stretch tolerance should be in the manual. I also re-used mine and i still havent heard a big bang underneath the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger NE Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Thank you ! But I'm still short of ONE bolt ! Hope somebody can help . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
