Snapped a bolt, help!

[GulfCoastGTS]

Hey I was starting to install my front swaybar, I start on the first bolt on front of the cradle, where the to hook is...and it snaps!! There are 3 bolts and I can still see the rest of the bolt in the hole...what do I do? How do I repair it? Should I continue to install the sway bar? eek. Help!!

what? are you talking about the nuts? if so just go to an autozone and get some new ones..

Yeah, bring in a nut that isn't broken to them and have them find a match. They were very helpful when I lost screws for my license plate.

dude that sucks you have to two things you can do....
drill it out and re-tap the threds out
or take it to a shop and have them extract it

Get some screw extractors

well for the install you don't really have to remove those bolts. Just have to drop the back half really to get to the sway bar....

Did it just break off easy or was it stuck and you had to force it?!? I always soak nuts and bolts in oil and tap them with a hammer before I try to take them out if I think that there is going to be a problem (rusted/seized).

Also, any metric nut or bolt on your drive-line or suspension should be replaced with a grade 10.9 nut or bolt. 10.9 is the metric equivalent to American Grade 8 which is the strongest our there.
