Ok i am installing a DA rear sway bar so i was trying to remove the old LCA and put the DA lca on, but while i was doing that i broke 2 bolts one that is closet to the brakes, and the one next to that one. So when it broke half of the bolt came out but the rest was still threaded in, i took one of them out and replaced it with a new one. But the other one i cant remove it its still half way in there, i took some pliers and tried turning it, it moved a lil bit, but then after that its stuck and the pliers keep on slipping, no there is barely any thread left to grip on its all smooth out. So what do i do?

 

drill what ya can out straight down the center of the bolt, then apply some heat and a easy out

x2 go buy a bolt out or screw out, most come with a drill end and a grip end now

 

ok i heated it up and used a vise grip nothing, keeps on stripping, i might need to drill it out, u think it will be bad to drive it around with the broken screw, i put the other half in and its good, like i mean temporary so i can go to school.

Common sense should be screaming your answer at you.

NO NO NO!

 

anyways i got it, i used a bigger vise grip, what should i do for the other side, i dont want them to break, they are really tight, same as the other side that broke.
