Last night i got under the car and realized that one of the main bolts to the Differential was missing. So i figured what the hell i might as well pull out the other one of the 2 take it to a parts store and find something similar Right!!!
Wrong half way through backing the bolt out it broke the nut end off from inside the Subframe. Now i have to cut it off with a sawsall and begin surgery
OOOOHHHH SS######T
What now any Suggestions?
I thought about cutting an access hole in the subframe with a grinder or torch then weld in a new one but it is kind of an uneven surface and it would be hard to get a welder to fit under the car and in a blind hole to weld a bolt perfectly in place, unless i dropped the hole subframe? Souds like alot of work
Take Diff out Drill out old hole where the broken part came out off with larger hole saw - weld a bolt to the piece of subframe, then weld back in the piece i cut out ? I thought this would be the easyest
any other ideas, I didnt see any access holes on the frame so it looks like i am going to have to make my own.
Please help
