[Shotimes] SF Bolt removal

[1badsho]

chris .. 


drill a hole the size of a 1/4 inch wrachet extension through the subframe about a 1/2 inch to inch from dead center of the bolt.

drill through the two subframe componets until u cut through both subframe connectors.

The actual hole in the subframe which is real heavy gauge .. u wont  cut through it.  You should be on the inside of that .

U will also drill through the uni body which isnt that thick and eventually get into the housing that supports the bolt u can get to.

ITs a wing nut shape about 2 to 3 inches long. When u drill the hole stick a phillips head screw driver up it so that the bolt thats turing will impact on the screw driver ... and it will than allow u to back the bolt out. 

Have done this on several cars .. works well
