While taking out the rear shock on my 92 civic LX, the head broke off my bolt (like so many out there). Its been a real PITA, I've drilled through the entire bolt and tried using bolt extractors. This bolt just won't come out. I've tried to take off the lca, but due to some MORE broken bolts, I can't. I don't want to buy a new lca or new shocks (in other words im broke). Any ideas/suggestions?

Jesus!

How exactly are you breaking the heads off the bolts? Impact? I usually use a torch and heat them up...they come out a lot easier that way. I'm not sure what your gonna do now. Try heating the mount up with a torch then using the extractor. Good luck man...

I had the same problem with my coupe. I just replaced both rear lca's. Good luck.

if you cant get it out...take it to a machine shop or a good mechanic...they can get it out (so can dealership by the way)
