So i installed my coilovers this weekend and broke the head off the bolt, like in this picture



Just the head came off, the bolt is roughly flush with the metal on the hub. I need to car to get to work this week. Would i be safe welding a washer or similar piece of metal to the end of the broken bolt? It only needs to be a temporary fix for a week or so until I can get new parts. I later figured out that i didnt have to remove this bolt to get the stock shocks off, but that was after I made this mistake.

 

Just go to your local auto parts store and get an easy out man, your going to need more than a bolt when you get done welding on your lca....unless you plan on replacing them anyway

 

the worst that could.happen.is.fiery death.

 

When i had my LCA changed on my integra a bolt head broke.
Shop welded another head to the bolt to get it out.

Ive heard you can drill them out

 

I have had the same bolt break on me on 2 different cars. I cut the LCA out with a sawz all, then drilled the bolt out until I could get it to spin. Then I used a pair of vice grips to work it the rest of the way out.
