Thanks NekExplorer The stud is fine, the nut came off easily. Do the studs really have to be put in tight with red Loctite or will the torque of the nut stretch the stud and keep it in place? The reason I ask is because I put it all back together thinking a hand tight stud will be fine if the...

Hi I'm midway through a timing belt change and when I removed the fan mount thing that is held on with 3 studs, one of the studs came out completely instead of the nut. How do I get the stud back in and tightened down? Or does the nut hold it in place? Hopefully someone knows what I am...
