Removing Whippy For Stubby

[RustyZ4]

Well i tried and tried and this happened, anyone know the parts needed

Well I definitely call that a stubby,,,,

Must have been well locked in to snap like that, you can get a bolt extraction set from screwfix, where you drill a small hole in the bolt and thread in the removal tool

Spray thr hell out of it now with penetrating oil. Same in morning and then get a good mole grips on it. It should come out. There seems to be just enough left to grab hold off.
Worth a shot.

You're right, were definitely related!

That's what I had to do on another car. Key is the oil. And don't rush, put some on in one day (morning, evening, etc), again the next morning and then give it a go in the afternoon. I also used a hammer to tap the screw section to try crack the seal. You're not hammering a dowel in or anything, just a light tap to try free it up. The one I had did protrude further but like above, you still may be able to get it off...

You could now go down the Araldite/Coat Hanger route, be better reception than a stubby
