·I managed to break off two bolts (1 on each side) when I was removing the rear spring hanger on my 81 CJ7.
Anyone have any ideas, hopefully easy ones. The rear cross member is off and I can see the nuts. I have tried heat and PB Blaster and nothing. There isn't that much to grap with Vice-Grips either it is already kinda rounded off.
One of them is the first one in and I was thinking of sliding my sawzall in and try to cut the nut off. Then I can just get a new bolt and hopfully just drop it in with some lock washers. On the other side it is the second one in, so that idea won't work.
Punch it out and drop in new bolts? Drill larger holes on top and drop in the new bolts? weld in a patch?
Ideas please?
Thanks
