top mount bolts
« on: January 22, 2015, 10:15:18 pm »
Ideas needed... tonight i went to fit my coilovers but 1 of the 3 bolts on the strut tower is kaput. After lots of trying to remove the bolt and knackering the bolt on the underside, i still can't remove it. Is it a case of drilling the bolt out from the top? Really wasn't expecting this,  so any ideas will be appreciated

Glad I'm not the only one haha. I drilled it out in the end and greased them up when re fitted
