I'm in the middle of installing my tcase drip and one of the bolts broke off in the frame. Heres some pics. Anyone have any ideas on how to get it out?

 

.

 

drill and tap that's what i had to do.

 

X2.. Same problem. Same solution.

 

Only other way is to drill the hole, pull the seat and carpet, Then cut a hole directly above it and install a nut. Then make a removable patch so you can assess it later. I would drill and tap though, alot better but it's an option if all else fails.

 

I feel your pain....be REAL CAREFUL if you want to try EZout. I broke mine and is all history.
Body shop wants $150 to cut out frame and reweld another nut .

Cutting a hole on the floor will be my next project .

I'd be suing the body shop if they cut my frame.... had to go through the floorboard on mine. if you pull the carpet back you'll see a hole where there's a rubber plug, I had to cut just in front of and behind that with a hole saw to get to the other side of that broken bolt. It's not just a nut up there, it's this wierd looking bracket thing.

 

How big of a hole do you have to cut?
Any problem accessing the nut with a drill?

Don't mean to hijack but thought PO might be interested as well.

 

I wouldn't bother with a drill either. you just need the hole big enough to get a socket and extension into so you can put a new nut on there. I used an air hammer to knock it in from the bottom.

 

Thanks for all the advice so far guys. i picked up a hack and tap set today so im gonna try that and well see how it gos from there

 

Sweet! much better than a transfer case drop!

 

I meant drill and tap lol i was looking at hack and tap sets while typing so i think i just jumbled my words i will be getting a complete sye kit but it wont be until the end of January when i get a bigger lift
