Broken studs
Looked in my engine bay and saw the studs connecting the driver's side mount to the bracket on the engine were broken. Can I drill and replace?

Could try using an Ez-Out to wind the broken studs out

He's saying the studs connected to the bracket are broken, not the bracket itself.Taz wrote:I will have a bracket?? Would it not be easier/quicker/cheaper/better to replace the bracket?
I fix cars.

Re: Broken studs
Get another bracket, I've yet to see someone without a lot of experience successfully get a stud out using a set of those things
