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)

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?? |
