    You could try drilling it out and then use a tap to re thread the chunks out

      That's what happened to me except I broke two of them and another bolt sheared off the threaded pem in the subframe. I removed the subframe and had it repaired by a machine shop.

      Took the opportunity to replace the bushes while it was off.

          I've just read on the internet about left hand drill bits which are the rage in the US can't seem to find one over here ( well on ebay anyway )

          I'm going to have to try Greg's suggestion as i dont have a 2nd car and i need to be on the road by sat!

          why do i bother doing car DIY? it always goes wrong!

          Oh well thanks guys, it's dark and chilly so nothing doing but get the beers in tonight!
