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?

Yeah.. you probably could. Plenty of steel in that.ftonoob wrote: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

Why are you worried? You'll be able to twist the broken studs out with your pinkySahin wrote:Bennoz wrote:Even expensive ones aren't hard to break

I will have a bracket?? Would it not be easier/quicker/cheaper/better to replace the bracket?

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?

yes - but replacing the bracket and mount will fix this problem without f**king around or drilling etc

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

Well one studs out. WD40 penetrant thank you. Getting a bracket not so easy. If was an sr20 or rb I wouldn't even be typing right now.
