But yeah theres the 4 bolts that attach

 

fuuuuck thats what i was thinking happened. Might as well replace all four, at least the mount should be okay right? This is going to be a blast to drill out without a drill...

 

any reccomendations on what to do? Drill those fuckers out with a left hand bit and pray i can thread new ones in?

 

Usually with that mount being either loose or torn you'll get some noticeable vibration but if yours isn't (yet) you don't have to do it like today but I wouldn't put it off for too long either..

 

it drives pretty shitty so i want to do it asap hahah

 

Spray em with pb blaster first. If all goes well, you shouldnt have any issues getting the new ones in.

 

sounds like a plan. this is likely due to loose screws correct? or should i be checking my driveline and what not

 

Well you can either get a good bit & drill down the center try an EZ-out or if your good you can take the good bit & drill down 1 side of the bolt & collapse the sidewall & just drive it out, I'd probably drill the center out & go progressively bigger in bit size, put a screwdriver in the center & twist it out..

 

Spray the piss out of them with some penetrating lube, do that a few times for a day or two. Go to auto parts store and get a screw extractor set. Drill hole in center of the bolts, standard drill,much smaller than bolts thread minor diameter. Use extractor to remove. Tap into place til it bites. It's a good idea to keep pressure on the back of the extractor while turning to make sure it keeps bite, since its upside down maybe put a small jack under it and apply a little pressure with a block of wood. Once the screw breaks loose your home free.

 

Oh hell yeah, do some maint.

 

Right, sorry.
EDIT: buy plenty of beer and bandaids and make sure there are no children present

 

hahah definately, thanks for the help everyone. getting my hands on a drill asap and getting these things out, cant believe i broke them so clean...

 

Liquid Wrench FTW! Coors light as a standby....

 

Not sheared off, the markings on those centerlines are cold rolling marks, are you sure there aren't bolts from the other side? If they were snapped then they would not be flush from wear, flush is a sign of over torquing

 

So where we going off-roading this weekend gang? Doug you up?

 

it sounds like i can go shooting tomorrow, but i could only find 100 rounds of 20 gauge and 50 rounds of 12, so thats all i can shoot.
and i'm paying for it myself.

 

Good for you Tyler and bout time!

 

Sheared, snapped off, over torqued.... there gone

No I'm asleep at the keyboard with a dog forcing me to pet her

 

Whats the best direct fit relay i can buy for my dust lights?

I am pretty sure all my front lights have relays..

 

Heat is always a good source to use when backing off bolts. Before you start drilling, try using the lubricant and heat to see if you can grab the ends with a pair of pliers and start to back the threads out. Also tapping around the bolts with a hammer helps a lot too.
