Snapped both of my innner and outter LCA bolts. Help
I have a 96 civic hatch and I was installing my new lower control arm as i was removing my bolt I snapped the inner and outter bolt on my LCA but the Strut one came off fine. Only the head snapped on both of these. Would anyone have a suggestion what i should do?

If you have the lower control arm out then just press the bushings out and get new bushings and nuts and bolts. As for the actuall removal of the control are get yourself a sawsall and cut the bolt so that you can remove the arm, but make sure you are only cutting the bolt.

or drill it out but that is rough and you'll have sore hands and arms afterward... but it is cheaper!! unless you have a press to press it out.
good luck
