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)

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.....
