ok so i have a silicone sealant that bonds plastics, lens restoration kit, i go to take off my bumper and when i go to the bottom bolts to screw off they are so rusted, one of them breaks off and half the the thread piece is stuck in the hole. not to mention the piece that broke off of the bult is stuck in my 11mm socket and wont come off for nothing. i tried wd40, hammer and screw, nothing. so not only can i not clean my cleanses but cant get the bumper off or the bolt...

how do you post pics? i want to show how my lights look

 

Either find a free image host, e.g. hostthenpost.org or hit the "go advance" button and attach files(s).

 

OK, first question, MM&Y of car?

Also, 11mm???
Is there even an 11mm nut or bolt on a Honda/Acura?

 

01 acura integra, and yea it supposed to be 10mm but it didnt fit, the 11mm socket fit actually, i know weird.

 

Maybe someone cross-threaded in a SAE bolt. There are no 11mm bolts on a Honda that I know of. Post pics of what you are stuck on. If the bolt broke off, why can't you get the bumper off?

 

OIC, I agree with thewrai6th previous owner drove in a couple standard bolts, it would account for the bolt head being stuck in socket, also why it sheered off in the first place, [X-threaded].

You will need to drill them out and either tap to a 12mm or Helicoil back to a 10mm... http://www.helicoil.com.sg/

I would just drill it and tap to 12MM. 94

 

i will as soon as i get the chance and because, like i said, now part of the bolt is stuck in my socket... so i cant use that socket to unscrew the other bolts, i have to buy a new socket or set. and its weird maybe its the Husky set i have or something, i know they're supposed to be 10mm, but im pretty sure. and i tested it, the 10mm i have does not fit, its a bit small, and the 11mm did, maybe its because its a cheap set i bought at home depot for like 20-30bux...? idk. but it is what it is, i still want to take the bumper off to clean my lamp housings and not only do i have to get someone to take out my bolt, now im out a socket and bolt that i have to find.
