Last week my rear shock sheered off it’s lower mount screw. I have tried for two days to remove with a combination of PB blaster, screw extractor and a blow torch to warm up everything. I’m getting no where with this.
It’s hard to tell in the photos but it almost looks like my bolt housing may be warped and that is trapping the broken screw.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Seems like my options are..
1. Have a shop drill out the screw and hope I can get a new screw in.
2.Replace the entire base plate the shock mounts to? Not sure if that’s realistic or something I could safely do?
