I was working on my car and accidently snapped a stud that holds the thermostat. What is the replacement stud part number for the thermostat housing?

Hello, I'm Danny.

I've attached a picture below of the thermostat housing to see if these studs are what you're talking about. Also, Is there enough broken stud left sticking out to remove with vice-grips are you going to have to use a screw extractor? Let me and we'll go from there. I will get you the part number. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Good morning,

Since you have the other stud removed, I would go to Fastenal or the dealer if you wish to match up the stud.

I see no part number in any of my catalogs.

This only run about bucks.

Take the other stud you removed with you to match the thread sizes.
