Hey guys wondering if anyone can help a buddy of mine out with this...
My buddy was installing a rear sway bar on his RSX and snapped off one of the bolts in the rear sub frame (most likely after cross threading it in rear sway bar install joy). then, he tried to just drill it out, in doing that really made what was jammed in there worse and hacked up the sub frame. I don't think i can remove the bolt in there with any type of tool that I can personally get ahold of, anyone know of a shop that would maybe want to undertake something like this? any help would be great!

Hi John

machine shops (from Randy Chase)
Custom Machining Services
Milt Bush

Later, Randy Chase recommended…
Hopsings Machine, Inc.
