I'm going to attempt to drill out and tap the broken rear upper shock bolts out of my 2000 XJ. I know others have done this, so I'm wondering what size drill to end up with, and then what size tap to use to re-thread the hole.
I've got a dremel to start a divot in the center of the old broken bolt so I can drill it out with a carbide drill bit. Also, what would you recommend as a lubricant while drilling (if I need one)?
I'm also open to any other tips to consider before I begin this fun task!
Thanks for your help and such an awesome web site!
