Title: Fragile belt covers! Post by: AdamX on February 09, 2010, 05:29:42 AM Today i started to remove necessary parts to change my timing belts :) but... i was in for a surprise when i started to remove the bolts for the beltcovers, as i started to twist the bolts i heard a heartbreaking sound of cracking plastic. No force whatsoever when i removed the bolts, the plastic just gave away :-\

eitherway CF! Title: Re: Fragile belt covers! Post by: scott_araujo on February 09, 2010, 07:10:42 PM They always seemed kind of rigid and brittle to me though I haven't cracked them or anything. Bummer though.
