In removing the rear trailing arms on my six I managed to bust off a couple bolts that were in bad shape. (rusted) My question is are the nuts on the topside of the console part of the console or can I break them loose with a drift and a BFH? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Or do I have to drill out the bolts? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Just a thought... how about cutting/grinding off the top threaded portion and welding new nuts to the top of the console? Seems easier than trying to drill out the tubes. I'm sure Chris is much smarter than me though.

I'm sure Chris is much smarter than me though. I did the same thing on my 6.. I bought the Tangerine part and done. I only had to do one bolt but it's not too bad if you have some skills. Yes, I tried to drill them out and hours later it got me nowhere. I was able to get a good size extractor in there, heat, lots of lube, more heat, but no dice. Like Andy said there was no plug on the top side. Only took about 10 minutes to drill out the old part with a hole saw(make sure it's a good one). I installed the tangerine part, bolted up my outer mount bracket to make sure it was all aligned right, then weld away. Done.. |
