EK Front Lower Control Arm Problem
So after trying to remove my front lower control arms on my EK I ran into a very big problem. I was removing the bracket that holds the big bushing in and 1 of the 3 the bolts was beeing stubborn to remove. It started to loosen but after a few turns I noticed it was just spinning in place. I'm pretty sure the bolt is bolted in the body of the car in a tab/washer like piece that's threaded that the bolt threads into. What I think happened it the threaded piece broke loose from the inside and is now spinning.
Is there any way of fixing this problem? I had a very similar problem with the rear with the bolt holding the trailing arm to the car. That involved me cutting a hole in the floor, getting to the threaded part, fixing it, and welding the floor back up. In this case, where it bolts to the car doesn't even look like I can get to it from the inside of the car.
Any ideas???
I'm reffering to bolt #11 pictured
Thanks
Mike
