Re: Stripped out engine mount stud..Complete

[Captnbr@aol.com]

Well, I am all done with my repair.  hERE is what I did.  I sawed off the old 
stud with a hacksaw, that was fun let me tell you it took almost 2 hours.  
The metal in that stud that they used is something fierce.  Make sure you 
have nice sharp drill bits or you'll get nowhere.  Drilling was hard, I had 
to use the weight of the car on the drill so I could give it enough pressure, 
I had my dad lower the car onto the drill very slowly. The bolt I used is 
M10-1.50x30mm. I went around to a few stores and the best grade I could find 
was class 8.8, I could not find any higher anywhere so we will see how long 
it lasts.  I dropped the bolt in from the top and used a lockwasher to hold 
it inplace so I could tighten it.  Took it for a test drive and all seems 
good,  the engine is no longer floppin around like a......uhhhh......ya know.
