I had a broken antiroll bar bush on the celica go and the retaining bolt broke while changing it. It would have taken me hours with a drill to do, but, the welder I have used in the past, heated it up with the Oxy torch untl it glowed red. This burns off any crap, and breaks any rust seal through expansion. Then he took the mig welder, with a lot of Amps for penetration, and built up a good sized blob on the end of the broken bolt. Once that was done, he was able to lock a set of vice grips on, and use them to twist out the bolt remains. -- "Sorry Sir, the meatballs are Orf" The poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
