Default sub frame lca bolt repair

last night i had the nut that's welded to the inside of the sub-frame bust off so i couldn't tighten up the main lca bolt. this will also help if you striped out that bolt. this is a 5 out of 10 so its not hard at all. <U>doing this will not weaken your subframe</U>
Tools
17mm boxed in wrench
17mm long and short socket
1/2 socket wrench
hammer
chisel
lock tight
need at lest one of these:
powerfull drill and hole saw(at least 1" around) or uni-bit
grinder and cutting wheel
air chisel (if you have air comp.)

looking at the sub frame from underneath pull the lca bolt half way out so when you drill,cut, or grind it won't mess it up.
there's a hole already there for you if you use the uni-bit.for a hole saw start your drill bit 1/4 inch from the hole as long as it is away from lca.

after you get your holes cut, if you can find the nut that fell off if that's you case and pull it out. if you replacing the stripped bolt then break out your hammer and chisel and get to work (or air chisel).

then put some lock tight on the nut and screw the bolt on hand tight so you don't re strip it. stick you boxed in 17mm in the hole, tighten it up and your done
