I'm installing new shocks and a 2" budget lift. The rear end is hanging in my garage right now. The project was going well until I took out the bolts that hold in the bar pin at the top of the rear shocks. ALL FOUR heads broke off with little torque applied, comparatively.
Here's what I've tried - A backout bit. That broke off in the bolt. I then bought a square backout - it's starting to twist and not really move the bolt. I've tried tapping but I can't get the hole drilled with a brand new bit.
The only thing left to try is to torch it before trying the square backout again, but that will take a few days probably at the rate things are going so far.
Does anybody have any further suggestions?
