bolts

[truepinoy]

is it somewhat safe to use a car that only has 5 flywheel bolts? m/t

[RustspecS13]

NO

There are a lot of forces working on your flywheel and if it comes loose it can rip your bell housing out and tear through your transmission tunnel and maybe hit you or your feet!!

Get that bolt before you put it back together!

what about using 5 stock bolts and one hardware store bolt?

[fastass]

just go to nissan man trust me you dont want to tear it back down bc of a dumb mistake. plus the bolts are specifically rated for the use, do it right.

Absolutely NOT. Use 6 new flywheel bolts, they are torque to yield bolts and should only be used once (unless they are ARP)

Don't listen to this sh*t, DO NOT GO BUY 6 NEW BOLTS , that is a waste of money, just get one OEM bolt, and use the ones that were on there, nothings going to happen. I don't know how many times I've reused my flywheel bolts and others and NOTHING has happened.

Please read about what torque to yield is, how it works, and why it is important not to reuse them.

Just buy six new ones and be done with it, peace of mind its not something you want to mess around with. If you dont care enough to do it sell your car, quit being lazy.

go ahead and just take out 2 more while your at it,make it an even triangle .at this point it probably doesnt matter what you do.if you are asking silly questions like this you probably will not torque them correctly even if you broke down and bought new bolts.

I know what yield strength is, I've taken plenty of classes to be familiar with what it is.
