sheared bolt post
hi guys!
Not sure if this is the exact right place for this, if there was a dumarse section, it would go there.
Ok, basically what happened was I was tightening the nut on the top post of which holds the BAC in place, and I tightened it right off. Now my question is this, am I able to remove the post and put a new one in, or am I going to have to get someone who knows what their doing weld it back together?
The worst part is, my car is still idling like ****... (a whole other problem...)

go to a hardware store and buy a tap and die kit. drill out the broken stud with the correct sized drill, then tap it again. go buy a new stud/bolt to put in its place.

Well it isn't sheared at the bottom, it is sheared level with the BAC, so if I take the BAC back off, you are saying I should be able to unscrew the post from the UIM?
