So I decided to install my eibach prokits myself to save some money. I have installed springs before on my previous car so I know what kind of job it is. Anyway, when I started to remove the bottom bolt from the rear strut, the bolt head snapped off. Being that the nut is welded to the strut, I decided to cut it off and then I figured I would just pop the bolt right out. Unfortunately, once I did this I found out that the bolt is threaded through the entire piece(I think its the knuckle). Now I dont know what to do. Can anyone please help!!!! I am desperate. Thanks in advance!!!

 

Same shit happened to me. Take to a shop. They will get it out. I dont know how, but they got mine out after me and my friend spent an hour with a blow torch and other various tools that didnt do shit. Take it to a shop.

 

That'll teach you to try and save money when modding. j/k

You gotta get it to a shop bro, you aren't gettin that out on your own.

 

if you have a good drill and good drill head you can drill it out...cut the bolt in half so there's less drilling if you want

 

Same shit happened to me, went to home depot bought a nice titanium dipped drill bit and a new 1/2 tap, riped through it in like 5 mins and replaced the bolt with a new one. Yes i did have a nice drill, dont attempt with a cordless AHAHAHA..

 

cordless drills = no bahlz

 

try an ez out

That happened to me too, but I was prepared with two extra. It took us a while but we got it. it's also a pain having to climb into the trunk for the top bolts. and make sure you put that bolt lube/anti rust stuff on just in case you have to do it again...

 

i saw it on one of those tv shows on spike on weekends. the guy was talking about what to do if you break off the bolt head.

since most of the torque is applied at the bolt head, once it breaks off, you can lube it up and chisel it out w/ a small pick and hammer. just work it around and it'll take some time

hope this helps
