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)

I drilled one out using cobalt bits. Someone here advised me to use some concentric sleeves (hardware store stuff) to keep the pilot hole centered. It was a long, maddening process and I was drilling down from the top using a 90* drive adapter on my drill.
Presently I have another one broken off despite much soaking and I have been procrastinating drilling it. Maybe I will do the Tangerine repair this time. |

I may have told you about using the sleeves, that is what I used... it still sucked. |
