Snapped Coil Ground Bolt

[MyMini99]

Lesson learned - always use torque settings.

However, tightened up ground nut for ignition coil too much on R56 N12 mini camshaft and now snapped. Can I temporarily attach earth lead to another earth point using a earth wire extension?

Only until car is driven to garage to remove and replace bolt?

Thanks

I would do the same honestly.

I’ll give it a go, garage not too far.

WTF!

You have snapped your camshaft tightening up an earth nut?

[MyMini99]

No, I’m not The Rock. I snapped the coil grounding wire bolt due to over tightening it.

That is what you said...… You tightened up a ground nut for the coil on Mini N12 camshaft & snapped it!
