While trying to put my coil overs on the first 3 went perfect, the last had to give me a problem.

The one bolt broke right off, and the other won't move. Any idea on how to get the broken one out? Also, how would I get the seized bolt out?

Could I drill them out?

Also, how much do you think a shop would charge me so I couldn't mess this up?

 

Exactly what bolts would these be?

 

Pics?

 

The bolt where the shock connects to the LCA and where the LCA connects to the drum.

 

I got another idea, Couldn't I just cut off the nut thats welded on that has the thread in it, and replace it? Does it really need to be welded on?

If I did that, the bolt would come right out.

Yeah, just make sure you loctite the new one you use.

 

they alllllways break, if found that spraying some anti seize on every 30 seconds or so for a while b4 doing it helps, also if u think the bolt is about to break as your un doing it, do it back up a bit then undo then do it up again and so on, it will slowly come out. also wacking the bolt on the head really hard a few times will help loosen it up (a old socket over the top would be a good idea while doing this)

i know this is no use now cus there already broke but might be usefull to know in the future

Well only one is broke, thanks for the post. Before I was just hitting it with the hammer, but I see where you're coming from with the socket on top method.
