| One of the holes already had a sheared screw in it, now the other one is gone, too. Any ideas, aside from welding, for how to get those holes clear so I can re-attach the passenger side bumper to the frame? |

buy an easy out and drill the hole specified about a 1/9 hole jheat the shit out of bolt turn carefully while it is hot because the problem is that the end of the old rusty bolt is jammed in the hole it may be easier to go counter clock wise and run what is left of the old bolt up and out rather than down and out if this doesnt work welding a new nutplate or just plain nuts iunder neath eithe way when it is all done put a stud in the hole rather than a bolt as it makes it easier to align etc
hope that helped

| Thanks. My garage said there was a captivated nut up there and if they weren't careful it would pop out and cause more problems. |
