Size:  21.1 KB I'm trying to put a lift under my xj and my one of those rear shock mount bolts has broken off in the hole. I thought about drilling it out but I don't have metric taps to to rethread the hole. So Im not sure what to do./

    You can knock it out with a hammer. Then you can reach in there with another nut, or attach a piece of coat hanger to the nut with a torch to help hold it in place if you have fat fingers. Unless you are really good at using a drill and retapping.
