So...in my first go of car maintanence on the TSX I wanted to put in a new K&N air filter. After wrangling the cover off and putting the new one in, I managed to snap a bolt from over torquing when I was putting everything back together... (Yeah...i'm a real genius...) Now I have 3 bolts in there but things still seem pretty tight.

So, the question is...how do I get a new bolt in there ? Not too sure how to extract the remaining piece that's still in there....

thanks for any help to a newbie...

can you post pics of the "bolt" that you managed to snap off?

and don't worry about it...i've snapped the bolts on the spark plug cover before...

Here it is:



From here it looks like it's part #16. I'm guessing I need to somehow dig out the part of the bolt still stuck in the lower part of the box and put in a new one ?

I cracked the exact same bolt this weekend. Looks like the link to this part is broken. After doing a search iI can not find this bolt anywhere. Can anyone help me locate the air cleaner cover bolt?

Easy to replace...if you can get the remains out. Might be necessary to pull the lower box unit to get it, though. When I snapped mine, there was a little stub left sticking out...a couple of minutes and a vice grip later, it was out.

Try here, I couldn't link to the correct page...just go parts and air cleaner, http://estore.honda.com/

I just broke mine too today- any thoughts/ideas on how to get it out? Also, is it horrible that I am driving around with just 3 bolts in?

Driving with three bolts; horrible, no...smart, not long term.

As I noted. most snap with some protuding from the lower unit. Use a vice grip, and voila. Worst case, get a new-old airbox from a dismantler.
