 Re: Shocker Mounting Point If broken bolt is hard to turn, use a bit of heat on the outside of the tube

Re: Shocker Mounting Point Nels,
don't forget that those damper mounting pins are made of tough material, so best to use a good quality drill bit, maybe even cobalt.
From what I've seen, a broken stud is usually the result of it having been under-tightened when the chassis was built up.
The specified torque is 150 ft.lbs.

Clean out the mounting point with a cut up tooth brush and white spirit then put a new bolt in real tight. Mine went through a spate of throwing shock absorbers  All 9 pages of the saga(s) http://www.international2cvfriends.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1926&hilit=fell+off
