so i was working on putting the coilovers in my girlfriends cabby today while she was at work and i got the first of the rear ones the driver side done fast like 30 min no problem and so i move to the passenger side rear and wouldnt u kno it the first bolt i go to take off broke
and i cant get it out.
so now tomorrow i have to find away to cut the other side of it off and get a new bolt to put it all back together. I would have had all 4 sides done in like 3 hours if it didnt happen. well at least it happened now and not on the road. Ill let u kno what happens tomarrow

What you are feeling now is the joy of working on an old VW.

Well if it is a mk1, as I am unsure of, that is "normal'.... Just Mummify the Bolt with Teflon tape head to thread, then coat with Never-seize, the next time will be a piece of Cake.
mk1, been there done that got the cap, cup and cut bolt.
Cut the head and nut off, then bend the mount out of the way
Torch, Sawzall, hacksaw works good.Last edited by briano1234; 09-30-2012 at 11:20 PM.
