Default how do I go about taking this bolt out? Is it even possible? (sway bar hole)



it seems the person who sold me the LCA's cut the bolt. so the bolt is stuck in there. it doesn't go through all the way either, it stops 3/4 through. only thing i can think of is drilling but then how to i go about with that

Your going to have to use an EASY OUT.You drill it then you unscrew it.Sometimes the easy outs break.So usethe biggest size you can without damaging the threads inside the LCA.

You could weld a nut to the end of the bolt.

its not gonna work, the reason its like that is its seized inside the hole and when they went to loosen it, it broke off..you could try the easy out but more than likely it wont work...if theres a will theres a way, you just have to find it

The easy out will work you just have to use the biggest one you can find that will fit the hole almost to the threads.Be careful not to drill the threads.If you dont do it this way it wont work it will just break the easyout.I recomend doing it on a drill press to make sure it drills straight as possible.Good luck might still be time consuming.Had the same problem when I installed energy suspension bushing rusted broken *** bolts but only in the rear end for some reason.

Use a torch to heat the LCA around the bolt. This will help loosen a rusted bolt.
