So I had a go dead failure to crank last week. I feel fairly certain it was related to a low amperage on my 6 year old battery. The battery would show good voltage but would quickly drop. It turned the car over fine but it always started right up so it was never cranked and cranked so I don't know how much umph was left in it. It tested bad at auto parts store and I had noticed that the bass and subwoofer had stopped working as well.

Anyhow I went through the whole system and decided to replace the other possible culprits as I have no desire to be stranded. I have the key fob batteries on order, I now have a spare RCM and Crankshaft Position sensor as I figured I might had better order a spare before the parts become scares..

I decided to go ahead and swap out the CPS and it was a PITA to get to that bolt holding it in. So I came up with a possible solution to ease my pain if I every have to do it again. I bought an 8mm thread bolt with a 10mm head and a brass spacer to make the bolt the same length of engagement as the OEM but by being longer and a 10mm vs the E-Torx and it will stick out futher I think it will be easier to access for removal.

I would like your thoughts. Is this a good idea or is there a flaw to my logic that I am not seeing?
