Rear Anti-roll Bar Bolt Snapped!

[M 80NGD]

Good afternoon,after reading all the topics on changing the rear roll bar brackets and bushes,penertrating oil etc,etc

I managed to snap one of the bolts off Has anybody else done this,and if so how did you repair it? I can't

just walk into a motor factors or Mazda shrowroom,because of living in the land that time forgot!! Thanks in advance

Lee.

Put a new one in? you may have bit of fun getting the old one out, but you should be able to replace with a normal bolt.

I thought that as well Kirsty,but the bolt has a 15mm round head on it and seems to be welded to the bracket itself

I've drilled all the bolt out,but this disk thing won't shift,not even with a small bolster chisel Should I drill through

that as well? Cheers.

or grind it off?

Couldn't get the grinder in,so I've drilled through said disc,(bloody hard work! ) and replaced it with a nut and

bolt! A 20 minute job took me just under 3 hours!! Not doing anything else till We've moved back to Derbyshire in 2 weeks

time!!

good job Bond - all these little snippets of info help justify some of the labour rates for jobs that peeps moan about
