BOLT PROBLEM AE85

[jondee86]

If the thread is totally destroyed, Then the only option is to
cut the bolt any way you can. If you can get the screwdriver
under the head of the bolt and lift it a little bit, you can possibly
make enough gap to cut the head off the bolt with a hacksaw.

Then (if, as you say, you can feel the other end of the bolt)
the cut bit may fall out underneath. If not, you can drill it or
otherwise destroy it Then maybe the nut can be cleaned
with a thread tap good enough to hold a fresh bolt if you do not
tighten it really tight. This part is only a cover, so it does not
need to be torqued up !!
