snapped lollipop bolt in chassis HELP!

[Brianmoooore]

If he tries to drill/extract/tap this bolt out, I'm more than certain that his next post afterwards will be along the lines of "how do I remove a broken extractor/tap from the hole"!
There is only one sane way of removing this bolt, and that is to weld a nut onto the protruding bit, with the heat turned fairly well up. The heat and thermal shock will unseize the bolt, and it will wind out.

I drilled and tapped a broken subframe bolt out, don't see what the fuss is about tbh, any1 with the slightest bit of mechanical know how surely knows how too drill straight and use a tap?

[Demlotcrew]

No E30 i know of has a captive sub frame bolt with a thread holding it in?

+1..

I was going to say the same! damn you.. fast typing git..

[Demlotcrew]

I think we need to hold a race, i will bet £50 i could get the bolt out first with no damage.

Just need to find two more turds with snapped bolts.

or just wait till he does the other side..

I'd have that out of there in minutes.. you haven't seen seized bolts like a MK2 granada.. I swear they deliberately cold-weld everything in at the factory..

you just know its going to be a complete and utter fuckup innit

[VW-will]

I never said the subframe bolts had captive nuts... Drilling a bolt is drilling a bolt being a captive nut or what ever, same $h1t different smell.

So you use an example where the bolt is twice as big, does not have a thread that can be damaged while drilling and tapping and could have easily been punched out instead? Next you'll be telling us you retapped the thread!

I don't know what's worse, your stupidity for assuming the sub frame bolt needs to be drilled out, or saying that it's easy since youve never actually done it.

It's a dub thing, man !

[Demlotcrew]

Will I Am innit bruv, 4" dish, red cubes and on route 66 with a tapped sub frame bolt.

[Tom_Maverick]

It's a dub thing, man !

less of that.. I've spent a lot of time fiddling with dubs and it hasn't turned me into a retard.. (I worked at a dub performance specialist and I was even featured in PVW many years ago)

don't blame the marque.. blame the divvo driving it..

At least you have seen the light and now have a proper, albeit councilled , turd

[Demlotcrew]

hasn't turned me into a retard..

We only have your word on that.

hey at least I can spell and use some sort of grammar.. A skill that would appear to be lacking here on the Zone...

and as for my council turd, you obviously haven't seen it in it's winter rightness..

[Demlotcrew]

Thats a very good point! The language skillz of the zone are pretty shocking!

I'm amazed that some people on here actually managed to fill in the registration form without the help of a carer or guardian..

i pronounce this job bodged !


rented a welder as it goes a siegen 130 mini mig as a few of us were talking about earlier good welder

[ross_jsy]

You welded the lollipop on?

Classay turd you have there sir! What happened to welding a bolt to the end? At least the welds look tidy!

[rhubarb]

ffs, what a fuckup, I knew it

So you snapped the bolt clean off

And now you've tacked it on, no penetration between the 2 parts whatsoever, accident waiting to happen!

[Demlotcrew]

I bet that would never pass the hammer test.

Looks like you welded a seam on the chassis rail and totally missed off the lolly pop

The CAB looks interesting too!

If I see you on the roads I will call the police.
