My new stock stroke 400 build

I'll find out when the dressing comes off, but I'm pretty sure it was a three pointed split. Maybe I'll have a fratzog scar.

Wish I had a before picture but it was pretty gorey.

I went out to the garage to check exactly what happened. Hunt2elk had it right. Bad picture but the threads pulled right out of the adjuster block. You can see them on the bolt. The other picture is the driver's side so you can see how much the bolt fired back into my hand when it let go. Hindsight being 20/20, the passenger side was harder to turn than the driver's side.

Can you replace the adjuster block and the bolt with the control arm in the car?

that's the spirit!

Can you replace the adjuster block and the bolt with the control arm in the car?

Yes. Just slide the adjuster block in from the side and then engage the bolt.

Good luck and hope you heal quick!

I've put in new block and bolts from FF. But to be honest I'd much rather find nice originals. The threads felt quite sloppy on the aftermarkets

No there's some wishful thinking

Can you replace the adjuster block and the bolt with the control arm in the car?

Yes, easy peasy. There are a couple different varieties out there from the aftermarket, fine or course threads. I think I went with QA1. I put antiseize on the threads when installing them.

To spare the squeamish who have been following this thread, I added a picture from this morning when I changed the dressing on my hand to the busted knuckles thread.
