Broken studs

Post by ftonoob »

Looked in my engine bay and saw the studs connecting the driver's side mount to the bracket on the engine were broken. Can I drill and replace?

Yeah.. you probably could. Plenty of steel in that.

Could try using an Ez-Out to wind the broken studs out :!:

Why are you worried? You'll be able to twist the broken studs out with your pinky :cheeky:

He's saying the studs connected to the bracket are broken, not the bracket itself.

    Get another bracket, I've yet to see someone without a lot of experience successfully get a stud out using a set of those things
