How do I get those things out and replace them?


i tried hammering, but under the fender, they are stuck through a metal L shaped plate, and it bends as the broken studs goes down. thanks guys

 

I'd try torching it.

I had to drill mine out and run a bolt up from underneath it.

 

That's how I would do it too....

 

how do you drill it out?

 

not sure, but you can try cutting it off with a dremel at the base and then drill from there. there's probably a better way however

 

hm..i might try the dremel thing tomorrow. Any other suguestions?

 

sell the car lol

 

Best advise anyone has given you alex.

 

lol

 

******* . arman is just scared i'll knock him to the ground on saturday

now back to the subject.. anyone?

 

lol .


id say your best bet would be the cut and drill method. just make sure you center that drill or at least make it look centered. why does it need replacing? stripped? duct tape works miracles ya know..

 

So what do I drill, a hole down the middle of the BROKEN bolt? yeah i broke 2 of the bolts that hold the bar down. haha so i have 2 half studs sticking out..

 

yah. basically just cut the rest of the stud off so its flush with the rest of the metal. and center the drill as best as you can. goto home depot or lowes and get some lifetime warrantee metal bits. start with small bits and just work your way up.

get a small one to make a starter hole. then maybe one that is half the diameter of the actualy bolt. then one that is the size of the bolts.

 

Alex ur a idiot!..do what it says above then you could try tapping the stud and then screwing it out..but don't do shiet cuz ur stupid! let me take a look at it, and bring ur digi cam..call my cell tommorrow........idiot!

 

I pounded that broken stud out with a punch...worked very well actually....

I still haven't replaced the missing bolt though....

 

thanks baonst. i'm going to try that method today.

mark, you're an idiot . you just wana borrow the digi cam haha

 

a hammer and punch is all you should need.....thats how I did mine also..... I replaced them with a good grade 8 bolt afterwards.

 

I clean my engine(detail) almost everyother time I wash my car.
