<VV> broken bolts on rear control arms- any tricks/hints to getting them out?

[George Jones]

Neal, you've obviously been monitoring this list too long.......GGGGGggggg

As far as th bolts go, I can't emphasize enough, use new, top quality drill
bits, center punch before you start drilling, use cutting fluid and go slow.
You may want to look at next size larger bolts, just in case.

Don't know what type of penetrating fluid you use, but I've had the best
luck with Kroil (for future endeavors).

Good luck
