Sorry for the stupid question.
When I use those bolt removal drill bits..
I suppose to drill into the bolt with the forward option of the drill and to take the bolt out i'm suppose to use the bolt removal bit with the drill in reverse right?

I'm trying to get one of those damn LCA bolts out, Thanks

 

Didn't they come with directions? If you're thinking of an EZ-Out, then you use a normal drill to drill the exact size hole that it calls for. Then you put the EZ-Out into the hole, tap it a little with a small hammer, & turn it with a wrench or with a T-handle. Drill motor turns it way too fast.

If you actually got a left-handed drill bit, then you just use your drill - in reverse.

 

A bolt screws in clock-wise, so if your drilling in, with the hope of removing the bolt you want to be drilling in with a anti-clock-wise direction drill bit, so that when you turn it clock wise it will then turn the whole body that it is inserted in to in the 'screw out' direction'!

 

All i can say is good luck my friend. I own a shop and have installed many coilovers on tegs. i got frustrated to the point of calling the dealer and all they had to say was "ha ha ha dont bother, we just replace the whole strut". I mean if anyone has a good idea i have mad props for you. But for the most part what we do is remove the abs lines and heat it with a torch.

However if your only change out the springs or installing coilovers theres a much easier approach and ALOT less time. simple remove the two 17mm bolts for the UCA and the 2 bolts for the horizontal bar(dont know what everone else calls this) and the 2 14mm at top of strut then put a thick blanket at the fender and you can pull the suspension down and out. Then if you need to you can compress the springs or do as i do and wra the strut in a blanket just dont forget to go around the top and just pop off the strut bolt. Hope this helps alittle.
