i have a 1997 honda civic lx completely stock. all original parts from 97. i decided to lower the car on coilovers but ran into some problems. i broke the stud on the long bolt threw the lca and struts. ive read up online to use easy out tool but do not have the knowledge or tool or confidence to do so. does anyone have the material to do this type of job or can send me that way? the car is currently in the dunwoody area so i prefer not to travel far in it. or if someone mobile can come and do the fix. call or text 478-284-2463. thank you

drill a hole into the center of the broken stud, get an ez out bit from napa and jam it in the hole. Put your drill in reverse, bam!

Not trying to be a jerk, but if you have the confidence to lower a car then you should have the confidence to fix this.

If u broke the head of the bolt off then ur not going to get it out with an EZ-out, it's going to break off too. U can try to cut the nut off that's welded on the fork of the strut or ur going to have to buy new struts and cut the end of the fork off with the nut welded on, U can use a hack saw but that shit will take forever. I'm assuming this is for the rear correct?
