trying to lower need help with lca bolt...'00 civic.

[Humphrizzle]

ok so when we were trying to lower my civic its a 2000 civic ex, we torqued off the lca bolt, i've been told it might do that but decided to give it a shot and we torqued the head right off. so now i'm stuck without a lowered car and i have to get a new bolt for it or i have to get a new lca, and i'm worried it might happen on the right side also. can anyone help me out with this anything helps, also i've heard when this happens you have to mechanically have the bolt pushed in with the bushing or something with some kinda tool, i've googled this all over but cant find much help. ANYTHING HELPS!!! thanks alot.

drill it out.. thats what i had to do.. it's very hard steel bolt so find a verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry strong bit.. start small and work your way up then bolt extractors and you should be able to get it out..

make sure you keep the drill oiled at all times to keep from dulling your bits.

hit it right on the head i had the same issue on my integra i actually ordered all brand new bolts from honda when i replaced mine tho i didnt want to take the chance of this happening again the bolts are like 4 or 6 each just something to think about.

if you use old bolts then your going to be right back in the same boat when it comes time to install new full coilovers or you want to upgrade your lca so why not have something new in there that wont rust out?
