BROKEN Valve Cover stud

[93EXaesthetic]

Is there any super deep socket made to do this or do you just have to work at it with a wrench? I can't seem to find clearance to knock this thing loose with a wrench.

jarret..what your gonna have to do..is if you broke the rear ones..the valve cover bolts closest to you ...your gonna have to take a wrench...and cut it in half with those bolt cutters they used in hs to break locks...once you get that cut in half...you can put the 1/2 wrench on the rear one broken bolt...and use a metal pole to pull the "half wrench"usually the ...since putting a full wrench is impossible because of clearance issues...and.. a deep sockets wont worket..i tried it myself... well im using the autozone sockets...
this will only work for the rear bolts if you broke them...

if you broke the front..just take the valve cover off..and replace them...

this part can only be purchased at the honda dealership for like 2 to 3 bucks...

i have broken a few myself..when i started on this board ..usually with those bolts you want hand tighten...and then tighten it a lil bit more with a tool..but not to where your gonna snap it again...

ooops i meant the nut was like 2 or 3 bucks...you know how honda dealerships are! yeah the bolt is like 8 bucks..but i heard it cant be substituted because its a special metal....someone told me other metals will melt..but dont quote that as factual...

yea i think 10lbs is around the limit of hand tightening......tighten real well with your hand and it should be around 10ft lbs. unless ur like me and it like 30ft lbs lol

i wouldnt try any other type of metals, but what the dealer would tell me/ sell me to use..and hand tight is fine
