Broken screw extractor is kinda making it a pain in a the ass to drill it now. Im thinking just cutting the prick off and using a nut and a bolt and sandwiching it on the plate? Sound dodgy enough?

Hey guys i think ive used all my methods of getting this thing out, long story short was taking bumpstops off to put on extensions, sheared a bolt, tryed to use a screw extractor (real tiny one), that snapped... So basically up shit creek for now. Any other options anyone can think of? I know i can always grind the nut off and reweld one on, but dont have access to a welder any time soon and i kinda wanna get this fixed asap. Any ideas? |

Drill it out, use a nut and bolt.. Probably the easiest way. |

If you can get a drill in there, keep drilling a slighty bigger hole each time, as you get closer to the thread, heat and thinness is often enough to get the bolt out |
