Hey guys, as you can see in the picture (well maybe you can) these 4 bolts on my Ex are pretty rusted. A bit of an eye sore. They look easy enough to change myself - I'm no mechanic - if I could just figure out what they're called or where to source them. Any ideas?

Yeah I'm that guy - OCD.

 

Pull em out, hit em with a wire brush or wheel, and prime then paint. Done. I highly doubt it's anything more than surface corrosion.

Another option is pull one out and hit up Ace Hardware or similar and get some stainless bolts that match. I can't tell in the picture nor can I remember if they're hex heads or Torx, so this option may not work.

 

Just pull them out, soak them in rust remover then sand them a tad and hit them with some rustoleum. 2 days and you're good as new.

 

HEY! I had this one!

 

I beat you by a full minute buddy. Although you did post while I was editing my original post

 

Thanks gentlemen, I'll give that a go. That is about on the edge of my automotive capabilities. Hope I don't mess it up.

 

They are TORX if you want to replace them, I DO know! HA LAZEE MATT!

 

Good sir, if you mess up removing a bolt and sanding/wire brushing/wire wheeling it followed by a quick clean of the surface before squirting it with paint... Please sell all tools and do not attempt further maintenance.

 

I'm in class you **** pillaging douche pirate. I'm not going to walk out of a lecture to look at bolts in my rig a 1/4 mile away.

 

It says a full minute, but even a second over and it says a "full minute". I have slower internet so I think I was first and therefore smarter Call me "Boltmaster"!

 

I'm on one bar of 4G on my phone, your excuse is invalid.

 

That was one damn time and you promised it was our little secret! Also you were the only one dressed like a pirate and saying "Arrr, me booty" all night.

 

I swear, this is the best part of my day Whatever you're in class for Matt, if I ever need your profession in the future I hope you're the one I get to perform the task. Good hands and all that

 

The captain always wears the best costume. He also delegates **** pillaging duties to the wretches that serve his crew. And my booty looks fantastic in pirate pantaloons thank you very much, I'm well in my right to admire it.

That may have been because we just finished the dean's new engine, all motor naturally aspirated LS that does 1096hp. Just sayin.

 

Alrighty, I'll work on cleaning them up tonight. Thanks Matt, Thanks Boltmaster.
