Both trailing arm bolts are busted off inside my tunnel. Tried drilling them out to easy out the bolt and bit snapped inside so I can't drill the bit out so then I tried the welding the nut on trick with zero success! Is. The tunnel scrap or is there any other tricks?

Any help greatly appreciated [thumb]

Do a search on this subject- its been discussed a lot in the past. The deal is you need heat to break the thread locker on those bolts. Get a torch and heat the tube the bolt threads into from inside the tunnel. You will need to protect the plastic belly pan from melting- I used some spare muffler packing I had. I've done several of these- heat that sucker up red hot and you can back the bolt out by hand.
