Fuel Rail Bolts Snapped!!!

I had just replaced my fuel injectors on my 1989 Toyota Pickup, 3.0. I was tightening down the drivers side fuel rail when the bolt snapped. Will this bolt back out and can be replaced? It seems like the bolt was very weak, I put almost no torque on it when it snapped.

Some of Toyotas bolts are not made of the best material. Looks to me like you have enough of the bolt sticking out to grab it with a pair of vise gris and get the rest of it out. Actually looks like a stud and it should be available from Toyota for a reasonable price. I snapped on today myself.

Would the stud just pull right out? Or unscrew?

If I read this diagram correctly:

The stud should unscrew, and be replaced with 92132-40840 for about a buck and a half.

(I'd replace the nut and spacers while I was at it:

Use some penetrating oil and use the vice-grips to screw it back in a bit, then in and out some til it frees up.

Great news. Thanks for letting us know. Maybe some one else will find this thread if they run into the same issue.

What would really help is if you could confirm the part number you ordered, and (about) what it cost.

I tightened 2 of mine too much, torque spec is 9ft lbs., wasn't paying enough attention, but got it worked out.

I did my rear main seal and snapped two bolts before reaching torq specs. Just know with the older bolts this happens and you learn to remove them in crafty ways.
