changing belt, need help, think I have a MAJOR problem
Tried changing my belt today. Got the top bolt loosened and tried loosening the bottom 14mm bolt but it would not budge. So I sprayed a little wd40 and waited, then tried again and stripped the bolt. then I got another 14mm socket that had less points on it and tried with it. Stripped even more. Now I got a pretty much rounded bolt.
what can I do aside from taking it to the dealer and them charging me $200 to replace the belt. (their quote a few weeks ago)

Hmmmm.....They make these sockets called "Turbo Sockets" for rounded off bolts, look like this....
They are specifically for stripped/rounded bolts, and will bite into the rounded bolt head as it turns. You should be able to find some cheapo brand at your local auto parts/tools stores for very little money. Harbor Freight carries them but I don't know if you have that chain in your location. I'd recommend buying the size the bolt is and also one size above, just in case. (ex. if its a 10mm bolt, also buy an 11mm turbo socket) Don't fret buddy, rounded bolts are no big deal. Stripped bolts, now that's scary territory lol. Just make sure you have a replacement bolt handy before you bother removing it. Good luck |

Oh, thats a good point, where am I going to get the exact right bolt to replace it? I guess the dealership and ask for the specific bolt?

I'm a little worried that the bolt didnt even budge. I mean I put a lot of torque on that thing and it stripped the head. should I put more WD40 on there or some liquid wrench on there? I just dont want to shear off the head or something...

Mine was bent on Crashy2, so it snapped when I tried to remove it. That actually made it easier, as it snapped where the threads begin, right at the alternator. Then the section with the head attached just pulled out, and I was able to then easily remove the alternator to allow me to drill a hole in the remaining part and use an easy-out to remove it. I replaced it with a grade 8.8 bolt and coated the threads with never-seize.

LOL wow, thats actually pretty scary to me, heh. I have no idea how I would cope if that happened to me. How did you get in there and drill a hole in the broken bolt? I can hardly get my socket wrench in there with a socket on it. I just hope the liquid wrench helps some.

You need an extension on your spanner or wrench.This gives you that extra oomph you need to loosen that bolt.

Don't buy a replacement from Toyota. They're pre-rounded at the top of where the wrench bites. I rounded mine off and bought a Toyota replacement, then decided it was garbage. I'll try to find it and take a picture of it next to a regular bolt for comparison.

This It will also allow you to gradually apply a significant amount of force to the bolt without having to struggle and potentially letting the socket shift/slip which is usually how these problems start. I use a 15" length of copper pipe. Did you get it worked out OP?

I went to harbor freight this weekend and did not find any stripped bolt extractor socket (maybe they were sold out of them?). Since I don't have a replacement bolt for it (getting from dealership today) and its not an emergency, I'm going to see if I can order the bolt extractor sockets online. I did find a 17" breaker bar but I don't know the size of the sockets yet so I didn't buy that. heh Hopefully this will get done eventually... hehe

Take it to any local mechanic and just have the simple job of removing the bolt done.

What has happened is you didn't apply enough force/torque on it. The socket is moving but the bolt will not budge then you end up stripping it. That's what happened to me. I stripped it as well. I realized i wasn't applying enough force down on it. So I got an extension. I used one of these
because I was kind of scurred at the time that I stuffed it up.So i just got something I could find. But it worked for me it helped to put down enough force/torque on the bolt.So the socket spun the bolt and not just the socket spinning around the bolt. |

Thanks all, the bolt will arrive on Wednesday (ordered it from toyota dealer) and talked to my father-in-law, he has a mechanic buddy that has the tools to remove the rounded bolt for me (so I don't have to buy just for one use). I'll take it to him and hopefully by this weekend this will all be a distant memory, heh.
I have some "Liquid Wrench" at home. I will put some of that on each day over the course of the week. Hopefully that will work better than the WD40. That way its nice and lubed up for the mechanic guy to twist off.

Most likely what happened was a cheap socket was used.
I had to use a 3 foot braker bar with a 6 point (SnapOn)socket to get mine off. Quote:
