My TII was running really rough at idle so I pulled off the BAC and gave it a good cleaning. Went to reinstall it and the top nut went on fine, but as soon as I put any torque on the bottom nut, it twisted the little bolt shaft right off! So now the thing was being held on by one bolt...great. It was on there pretty good so I decided to start the car to see what would happen. Idle smoothed right out beautifully. Only problem is now I have classic symptoms of a vaccum leak as the idle revs itself up about 200 rpm every so often. Obviously a little air is leaking in due to the one nut being gone. I should be able to take the BAC back off and just back the bolt stem out, correct?

If there is enough sticking out to get your vise grips on.

If not - drill & screw extractor.

 

Man the craftsman drill and screw extractor has paid itself several times over. Even if you don't need one, I would purchase one.
