[QUOTE="Kornilov, post: 14480893, member: 163077"] OP, how does the break look? Did the bolt head sheer off and leave a stud threaded into the hole? If so, you can just remove the UCA completely and use a pair of pliers to unthread the stud. If its flush, as it sounds like it may be then your job is a bit harder. But if your remove the UCA completely, and use some quality drill bits and left hand bits, you should be able to get the stud left in there without too much trouble. Once the head of the bolt snapped, it relieve a lot of the tension on the body of the bolt, so undo-ing the threaded portion shouldnt be a massive pain. But yeah, you should be fine to drive at a very relaxed pace to the dealer - or any competent shop really to get this out. Expect to pay an hour's labor though. [/QUOTE]
