i can't get the bolt that connects the rear lca to the drum brake off. The head snapped off so i tried to use a bolt extractor and it broke off inside the bolt. I went from the other side and cut the weld nut off with a dremel after going through 10 cutting disks. Tried to hammer it out and it won't move. I have already tried drilling it but i only dulled the titanium coated bits i have. WTF!!!! There shouldn't be any threads left, but the bolt still won't move. It's only a 97 and the bolt that attaches the shock to the lca came out fine. Any suggestions?

Drill it out or buy new LCA's. That is what everyone else does.

what particular bolt are you refering to? the lower strut bolt that's been knowing to seize up? or are you talking about the bolt that connects the rear trailing arm to the frame?(the one in the front or back) details man, can't help you if we don't know which bolt you are talking about.

the bolt that connects the end of the LCA to the bottom of the drum brake.

your best bet is to drill out the bolt completely and then use a tap and die set to make a new thread similar to the oem thread. or if you can just get another lca at the local junkyard, beats paying $200 for a new one at the dealer
