So I was removing the subframe on my E30 to swap it out for a reinforced subframe and everything went well except for one small thing, the subframe mounting bolts , to be specific the one next to the sway bar mount broke. The broken bolt is inside the metal so I can’t welt a nut to it because the space is very limited, I already tired a left handed drill bit , bolt extractor but it just ended up breaking the tip inside the hole I drilled , and I tried to weld the other half of the bolt on to see if that would somehow work but I couldn’t even do that because the opening is just too small . I have tried everything I even made sure to torch it but nothing is working, what’s making it difficult is that the bolt flange is inside and not flush . At this point I don’t know what to do , should I just cut that little square of metal out and weld in a “new” from my part out E30 or possibly even just drilling a hole the same size and make the opening bigger for a bigger bolt but I know that’s not right but I’m stuck I’ve tried everything!
any ideas or suggestions, has anyone faced the same problem?
