rajarella 0 Posted February 15, 2009 I am taking the front bumper off my vr6 to assess just how bad the rust is behind it and one of the bolts has sheared off inside the cross member!! Any one got any ideas on how I can get it out?? Rich Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue95 0 Posted February 15, 2009 can you see the rest of the bolt? if so you could try welding another bolt onto it??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rajarella 0 Posted February 15, 2009 I can just about see it but it is a long way in, don't think welding on to it is going to be an option unfortuantely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dec 1 Posted February 15, 2009 iirc VW supply a larger diameter bolt + tap kit to solve this prob. You'll still have to drill out the old bolt, then re-tap the captive nut. Try doing a forum search for it, as I think the same prob came up a few years back. :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
