Stripped subframe main bolt

[Wakkolio]

Has anybody every replace the rear subframe main bolt? I have one stripped on me. How hard is it?

Thanks

is the bolt stripped of the nut? If the nut is stripped you may be screwed. If I remember correctly, the nuts are welded to the insid of the frame and you cna't really do a whole lot with it unless you tap it out and rethread it. If it is just the bolt, then I'd head down to the local junkyard and get one, or maybe you local Roaches hardware.

I got the nut out but the bolt it self is stripped. I haven't taken the whole subframe out yet, just want to know if the bolt can be easily replaced.

I can probabally get one out of my old 240 for you if you need one. I have a wrecked one that I pull parts off of as I need them. Lemme know and I can get you one. Check your local junkyard first though, a lot of the time, they'll just give you the bolts. The one I go to always does.

How hard is it to remove the bolt?

Thanks

I finally fixed it. What i did was used a dremel and cut off the botton 3 teeth of the bolt since it was stripped there. Then i rethread the bolt. Worked like a charm. I few more teeth up i would have to lower the whole subframe.

Cool. Good idea. I'll have to remember that.

float_6969 - you still have your spare 240? I have interior parts for ya, and am in need of an ignition coil and the plug that goes to it... a bit OT sorry. -JinX
