on my 98 ex coupe i went to put coilovers on it today well it ended bad the bolt that holds the control arm to the whole spindle n wheel assembly broke on me. i got half of it out n half of it is still stuck in there. the whole thing was pretty much rust. i need help on how to get this thing out of there !!

 

Same thing happened to me last saturday but jus the head of the bolt broke off so I can still drive around...Your going to need a good set of torches to get it out from what I was told. I still havent taken mine out but im going to try this weekend.

 

yea i see alot of people this happens to i guess its all the rust n old age but its a pain in the ***... i talked to my dad about it waitin for him to get home to give me some ideas. hes a genuis with those kinds of things

 

Yeah all my friends have have motified their suspension at all have broken this off also...well let me know how you make out so i can have some what of a strategy for when i go at it

 

you could try and drill it out might loose a couple bits though

 

well i got the f***** out ...i drove the car down to my dads work n used a air grinder drill thingy grinded down the bolt n nut then tapped it out with a punch and hammer ...pain in the *** but after like hour n a half of beating on it n grinding it i got it out then i just put a longer bolt threw it and put a self locking nut on the other side. oh yea n i put some never seize on it so if i need to remove the bolt it wont be a bi*** again.
