Y’all know you just hit it with a hammer and it falls out. It’s a press in stud just like your tires held on woth no drilling required this is a joke right?

@LeonL47 Open the jaws of a vise and hang the strut top from the jaws of the vise, with the head of the stud between the jaws. Then using a punch and hammer (2 lb sledge works great), punch the stud out. You might have to hit it 3-6 times. If it still doesn't go, heat up the top plate around the stud with a torch, then spray Freeze-Off on the broken stud. Then try punching it out.

Can this be applied to replacing snapped bolts for the rear strut top mount without welding? Rear studs were riveted.

If I am adding a strut top spacer that has threads is it necessary to cut new threads into the strut after removing the bolts? Thanks

I broke a stud today at the shop. I just hammered another stud from the old one, put the strut in the car, put nuts on the other 2 studs, then snuck the 3rd one under the car (it had a wider base, but didn't fasten to the strut hat. I threaded in the nut as far as I could, then grabbed the tip with vice grips (so it doesn't spin), while I had to use a regular wrench, and turned it until it was nice and tight. I tightened them til they were snug and I couldn't tighten them anymore with a regular ratchet. It seems to have worked.

Instead of trying to repair the strut bolt, you can just install a new strut mount that costs $10-$15. (You'll need to rent or buy spring compressors of course)

why would you cut threads into the strut top? it already has a nut on the end of the stud. its not like a head stud where you cant put a wrench on the other end. unless youre welding it on the other side after utting the bolt head off... then it makes sense.

I just snapped a bolt tightening up the strut when I reinstalled it in the car. Now wishing I’d used new top mount. Presumably I have to take it off to drill and tap, or there will be loads of swarf in the top of the strut? In which case isn’t it just easier / cheaper to buy a new strut too mount? I don’t have a drill and tap set or a new metal drill bit set so would need to buy these…

I broke one of my Strut Mount bolts... It's a spline bolt I got it pressed out by a Machine shop. Do I want to replace it with another and get it pressed in by a machine shop or just use a normal bolt like this??

Why not just weld a new bolt upwards so you can easily align the strut into the tower? That's the way it was designed. It'll be way harder mounting the strut the way you did it.
