So as I was taking apart the whole front end suspension off I snapped the long bolt that holds the lower curved control arm to the car frame. I only got a 1/4" out b4 it snapped at the head. I have been wondering how I'm going to get this 3" long bolt out and thought I would ask for some advice from you guys.
I was looking at it for a hour while I pounded my head off the garage floor wondering how I'm going to get these out. I can't use heat as there is no way to get a flame in there as well as any PB blaster. I am sure I am going to have to drill it out but even after I drill it through there's still a chance I won't get the whole section out. The threads are only at the top about a 1" long so that's the highest spot.
I also snapped the smaller bolt on the opposite side of the car as well. Was the only 2 bolts I had problems with. These bolts were in bad shape. Any help or ideas would be much appreciated and thanks in advance.
