Hi all.

This is for an '81 Westy.

A nut/bolt end snapped off on passenger side. On driver side, one bolt
turned slightly, but the threads didn't. I think it's a hair away from
snapping. <rolls eyes> These fasteners are obviously rusted to the
lower BJ adaptors.

I pre-applied penetrating oil, but aside from heat, vibration, are
there any tricks to removing these bolts? Or am I looking at removing
the lower control arm and drilling etc.?

Anyone else who's snapped these, managed to drift out the remaining
piece(s) of bolt(s)?

Please and thanks!

Neil.
