PRL Intercooler 10mm Bolt Snapped

[phononmode]

when I was installing the intercooler today the 10mm bolt holding the top connector snapped. PRL calls for 18 lb ft for both the 10 mm (which the manual says they are 12 mm). Please don’t torque it too much when you install yours!

I don’t think this bolt is important so I am leaving it as is. If anyone has a good way to take the broken part out of the hole please let me know

Easy-out or any type of screw extractor will do

At 18ftlbs I wouldn't even bother with the torque wrench, just use a ratchet until it's snug. It's easy to miss the click on a low torque and go too far.

Bolt/Screw extractor bits and a drill will get that out.

I generally wouldn't leave anything out that is supposed to keep a part in its place.
