Quick stupid idea: Drill it out from below and us a bolt+nut instead?
I don't remember if a OEM sized spring rests there (chance of bolt head getting in the way).
It would get the thing out at least.

 

Leave the dumb **** to me I ran out of cutting discs ages ago and never bothered to get new ones. Smart idea no?

Nope. I'm trying to get someone to weld another nut on top of them so I can get them out at least.

The irony is that the topmounts of the black car came off in 5 seconds and it has been sitting outside for 4+ months now.

 

Are you related to gearhead?

 

Do you have an ankle monitor? Are you under house arrest? Take a trip to a store with a list of needs, buy them and have them on hand.

 

Why cant you use the same pair of vice grips you installed that nut with to remove it?

 

Dremel would be the beat way!

 

They broke too

 

Couldn't you set the car down, undo the top nut on the shock, lift the car up (slowly), swap the spings, lower the car (making sure that the shock lines up with the mount), and reinstall the shock nut.

This is off the top of my head so something might not work in those steps, but it seems like it should work to me.

 

That is the procedure for, "How do I change springs/shocks if I dont have a spring compressor?" Dont see why it wouldnt work here.

 

Thats Faeflora territory there.

 

 

Can't you drill the topmount stud from below?
Drop suspension, remove shock, drill stud, and use a bolt to install it..

 

His drill and all his drill bits are broke.

 

Seems like all his tools came from harbor freight...from his sockets, vise grips, chisel bending....goto a better tool store

 

Seems like obvious troll is obvious? He was given tons of instructions with simple tools like extractors, didn't choose to take advice and complains? Cheap dremel from lowes or home depot or sears or ace etc or extractor set.....

 

Lulz. I got my nuts off. Finally. Never happened to me on the 1.8 car, coincidence?

 

Left handed or right handed?

 

probably not. we all know how awesome the 1.6L cars are.

 

this is the tool you want to fix this.

I've used one of these to get me out of a few stripped stud/nut situations.

 

I'd rather have the ones I linked, because mine have a spiral in the grooves they dig into the nut. Those just look like hardened spline drives.
