you can try, but i can almost garranty that you will regret it later when you go to remove it. trust me, i have done it in the past (when i started fixing cars as a profession) and learned my lesson. You'll have a much harder time removing the broken bolt in that hole than to rethread the hole.

i've got a pretty extensive metric tap & die set. What size fastener?

[DWeigs]

Not even sure!! Its a 12 millimeter bolt.... I dont think that helps any!! Plus im in Grand Forks!!

Drill it out larger and put a nut underneath the car. Then weld the nut to the car. That is if you can get to it.

I dont think i am going to be able to get to it... I think I might just go invest in a tap set later today!!

Did you strip out the bolt or the threads on the car?

[DWeigs]

Threads on the car...

[MisterCMK]

If you chewed up the threads on the car, a tap probably won't help unless you drill it out to the next size up and tap it larger. You could also use a helicoil on it.

Well I took care of this little seat thing!! Heli Coil FTW!!!
