Ok everyone. I was installing the last Tein S-Tech lowering sring and I rounded off the sway bar bolt. The actual inner piece that requires an allen key/wrench is the rounded off part. What are my options for fixing this? Anyone else have this problem? I'm kind of at a standstill until I come up with something and I'm fresh outta ideas.

grind it out or drill it. same thing happened to my prizm.
if you dont have one, get an electric impact gun. i beleive pepboys has a nice kit for $100 that includes a 400 or 500lb gun and a flip socket set. then get a good set of metric impacts, sears has a set thats 12-27mm for about $60. trust me, you'll love it! you're not going to get those knuckle bolts off by hand as easily as you can with the impact. also while you're out get a 4 foot peice of thick wall gas/water pipe from the hardware depot, in whatever size fits over most of your wrenches and your breaker bar. also, get a breaker bar! ratchets dont like to be piped and they will break! -------------------- |
