CashDudeHomie, the bolts need to be tightened to about 8ft-lbs or 96in-lbs.

They break very easy.

 

I change T-stats in the summer, stock in winter. putting studs in wouldnt be a bad idea.

 

ok to pull apart the tsat was a pita but i cut off the end of an old plastic flashlight and used that to push down around the spring and that worked great it took me awhile to get that thing apart so i designed that tool
