I am trying to remove one of the three suspension console sleeves since a bolt sheared off inside of it. Per Chris's instructions, i used a 7/8" hole saw on the side that has the welds attaching it to the body. That was fine, and it looked as though it should have been able to be hammered out, but the thing wouldnt budge! So i went to the store and picked up at 1-1/4" hole saw for the other side, attempted to drill that out but the metal there was so thick that the hole saw just started smoking after getting through a tinny layer of the paint/metal. Now i dont know what to do! This attempt was on the spare suspension console i have, trying to remove it there first, keep that sleeve, and then do the same process on the sleeve on the car with the sheared bolt and weld the good one in.
I need advice from anyone that has done this before!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1293.photobucket.com-14538-1375411354.1.jpg) Thanks! |
