Hey everyone.
I seem to have an issue.
Recently, the bolts that hold my shock tower in place seem to go loose. Once every few months I can hear it loosen up by the sound of it slapping, so i go in and tighten the bolts.
This time around, i snapped 2 bolts. What can i do now?
Is there an easy way to drill the old ones out?
Any help would be appreciated as i don't want to drive this too long in this condition.
CHeers,
Steve
 
get yourself a set of screw/bolt removal drills they work the oppisite way to standard drills you might get lucky and it will wind it out
 
Is there enough exposed stud to get two nuts on it? If so tighten two nuts together to lock them in place on the stud, the use the bottom nut to undo the stud.

Failing that you're into stud removing tools, welding a nut to the stud to undo it, or worst case drilling out.

To stop it happening again, use a good grade bolts and as suggested above, either spring washers, nylock nuts or both
