Default Well...I tried it and...uh...

I snapped off the head of the bolt trying to turn it. It was sort of a blessing in disguise though. I was then able to thread the nut back on and tighten it like crazy. That sucked the bolt out through the wrong end.

The other one is still about half way in. The threaded end is now flush and the head is sticking out, but it's not moving. I can turn it, but not drive it through any further. I may just dremmel the head off and use the same technique I used on the first one.

Default Just for that, I hope the Avs win!

I got the one on the drivers side out, by breaking it. The other one is about half way out. Think I'm going to break it too and suck it out the wrong end (that's how I did the first one). I'll let you know how it goes.

Default DOH!

I was looking at doing it that way, but not until after I destroyed these bolts. Oh well, live and learn.

Agreed. That bolt was the only thing that caused us grief.
