Ok, I am changing my stock worn out CAB's. While removing my old ones a bolt decided to shear in half right where the bolt goes into inside the frame. So, how do I get it out? I have tried drilling it out and using an extractor but I don't want to screw up the threads on the nut in there.
Suggestions?

Since it sheared right where it enters the frame, try to do the following: Weld a nut onto the remains of the bolt and try to turn it out. That's one of the few ways you can do it without fucking up your threads.

i would, but where the threads start is up in the fram and i can't get to that part.

anybody else got some input?

Can you drill a small hole in the threaded part of the bolt then screw in a reverse threaded screw? Might work.

See post #9, that's what I did for a sheared front subframe bolt...
