***FINAL UPDATE!***
Well after all the trouble, cussing, and anger the car is finally fixed. I took it to Heidt Machine and Tool off of Greenback and the mechanic there, Mel, did an amazing job and at a great price.

He used a series of extracting tools, drills, and bits and was able to get the bolt out. I accidentaly drilled a little into the existing threads on the hole and he felt that trying to rethread the hole wouldnt be a good idea. he drilled it out and installed a helicoil. Cleaned everything up and called it a day.

Did an amazing job and now my new Cobb RSB, mounts, and Kartboy endlinks are installed!

Thank god!

***UPDATE 3***
Well after 20 calls and 20 times i was told you are f****d and they wouldnt touch it. I finally found an awesome shop to take care of it. They had a brand new EVO MR out front, the guy owned like 2 STI's before that, and they build track cars.

Anyway the guy is basically going to drill the bolt out, then he is going to cut a small hole in my frame and put a nut inside and then weld it and clean it up. The nut will be flush with the frame just like the original one. I am crossing my fingers, the car should be going in tuesday or wednesday.

***UPDATE 2***
I have decided that i either need to have a helicoil installed, a bolt welded to the frame, or the sway bar mount welded to the frame all together.

-Does anyone know any shops that can do any of these methods? I am having a hard time finding a shop to help me out.

Thanks

Will

***UPDATE***
- The bolt is stuck in the chassis of the vehicle in the forward sway bar mount hole next to the fuel inlet pipe.
- There was a drill bit stuck inside of it

So i decided i would cut the bolt around the drill bit with a hack saw. This worked and the exposed portion of the bolt fell off leaving a portion of the drill bit exposed. I used a pair of vice grips and twisted the drill bit out. I tried again to use some extractor bits but unfortunately the hole is offset to one side of the bolt and not centered so the extractor bit wouldnt work. I was going to try and drill a new hole inthe center but unfortunately i couldnt get to the center of the bolt, because the other hole already covered the center. I decided finally to just try and drill out the bolt, only to find out that the hole already drilled was extremely slanted and i ended up drilling into the side of the mount hole. So now the hole is f***ed. No there is no happy ending to this story.

Basically now all that i can think of to fix it is to take it to a shop and have them take off the inlet pipe, drain the tank, drop the tank, remove all the charcoal crap, and then do one of two things.
1-drill out the rest of the bolt, get a helicoil and drill a hole for that to fit into and do it that way.
2-drill out the rest of the bolt and then get the threaded portion of a bolt that will fit through the hole on the cobb sway bar mount and then weld that threaded bolt to the chassis so instead of the bolt going through the cobb sway bar mount and screwing into the chassis. the sway bar mount actually slides over the bolt on the chassis and then gets locked on with a nut. Make sense?

Any other ideas out there?
Shop suggestions?
Etc?

F...M...L!!!!

***BEGINNING***
Hey guys,

So im an idiot and i broke the head of a bolt off and the bolt is stuck. The bolt is located on the rear of the car, its one of the sway bar mount bolts and happens to be the one right next to the fuel inlet pipe. I believe the bolt is cross threaded and is extremely jammed. It gets worse, i tried to use a bolt extractor and accidentally broke off the drill bit inside the hole i was drilling. I have tried vice grips, pliers, and drilling the drill bit out and nothing is working. So i am basically in all kinds of ****.

So here are my questions:
- any ideas on how i can get the bolt out?
- any ideas where i can take it to get it removed?
- can i drive my car to the shop without the RSB on it?

Thanks guys,

Will

 

yea u can but i wouldnt push it on the corners, they sell a screw remover at the hardwhere store than can remove it,

 

What kind of tool? I tried a bolt extractor and ruined the bolt by getting the drill bit stuck, wasnt aware there was another tool.

id jsut be driving to the shop so its not like id be DD it, just to the shop.

 

its like a drill bit u can drive without one my cousin took his off on his drag car

 

Yeah i think you are talking about a bolt extractor. Thats what i was trying but i broke a metal drill bit off inside the hole i was drilling and now i cant drill anymore because the drill bit is in the way.
