question - bolts and car computers

Jun 25, 2004 2 Replies

We were in the processing of removing the bolt that holds the plug which goes into the computer...when the end it screws into came out w/ it. Now we can't get it off. The plug will go into the new computer really snug but of course it can't be bolted. Is this bad? Should I get the old one cut? Advice in the next hour or so would be awesome :)


Yep. The screw is needed -- the plug will NOT stay in on its own through heat/cold cycling and with road vibration, that's why the nut/bolt is there.
