During my oil change this morning, one of the two Philips head bolts was seized. It broke off in the threaded hole.
After repairing the whole thing (see pictures) and to prevent it, I greased these two bolts.
To prevent them from unscrewing by themselves, I installed a teeths washer on each bolt.
My 2018 Civic : 64k miles
As a prevention I did the same thing on my wife's Civic. ; grease and teeths washer. A bolt was starting to rust.
Second and rusty bolt with teeths washer with new bolts for the other threaded hole
After drilling a hole in the broken bolt :
I redid some threads for a stock bolt I have.
The threaded hole has started to turn in place. Impossible to use it. I blocked it with a bent nail
Here is the new bolt before a final installation under the car. The lock washer you see is not the one I used.
You can see the small nail head.
