Okay. I am not totally screwed yet but just a few minutes ago I was going to take the rubber tops off my bumper and the first nut I tried to get off broke the bolt. Is there a way to remove the stud and redo these? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Cut the bolt flush, drill it out, and glue in a new one with rubber epoxy.

Use antiseize on everything at reassembly.

I welded mine back on. You do have to go very slowly to prevent thermal build-up.

Weld it, I've done it before. Jon, just bring it over and we'll get it done. Got plenty of 6x1.0 studs floating around anyway. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Probably not the concours correct solution, but many years ago I just added holes in the top of the bumper, drilled pilot holes into the metal core, and used some sheet metal screws. The bumper top was pretty wavy though, so the core was known to be a little corroded. Held up for a long time though.

This is where a spot welder, or carbon arc torch briefly touched to the attachment nuts can do wonders. Heats up the fastener without transfering too much heat to the rubber.

PB Blaster, time, and gentle knudging??

Just did mine this weekend. Drilled out old studs and used self tapping sheet metal screws witht the same size hex head as the nuts. Worked fine.

Thanks Dan. I will be bringing this to you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Drilling through this top isn't a good idea as it looks perfect.

Man everyone is going easy on you.

I would have told you that you are screwed and that you should give up, buy a new one and give me your "garbage" one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Looks like Dan will get you taken care of. Your bumper tops are some of the nicest I have seen.

Thanks Kyle

The front has a little pit in on one spot but other than that it looks good.

Just like Zach, I cut it off flush and drilled it out but then I taped it and screwed in a stud locking it in place with Permatex permanent thread lock. Good as new.

Use a GOOD lubricant....I'm not going to get into the MY ShIt versus Yer CrAp wars....but the technique is important.

TIGHTEN it first, AFTER soaking overnight.....then slowly back it off. If ANY resistance give it another soak....wait another day.

Then do the same...if it breaks....have a drink or a smoke....you were screwed from the beginning.

As to broken studs, they can be drilled up and a self tapping hex head can be used.....but it's better to try to save them.....
