[QUOTE="crash2, post: 1394423, member: 15940"] Another day of chomping thru stuff. So I had one broken bolt left to take care of. One of the front bumper bracket bolts broke off. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/dad240.jpg[/IMG] What I typicly do when they are broken off in this manner I just plug weld a nut to the bolt. After welded I soak it down with PB blaster. I have been very successfull using this technique. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/dad241.jpg[/IMG] I was able to crack the bolt back and forth about 1/4" when it popped the bolt again--these bolts are VERY soft. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/dad242.jpg[/IMG] So I just simply drilled the bolt out and ran the old threads out with a tap. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/dad243.jpg[/IMG] So I grabbed the my dedicated grinder with a big ol wire wheel and sucked on some red dust for a while. Got both sides cleaned and then killed the rust and painted them up. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/dad244.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/dad245.jpg[/IMG] So I can put that under my DONE list....
