October 17, 200619 yr anybody ever just drill it out...and then throw in a bolt and nut? thats if i cant extract it first...
October 17, 200619 yr Did it twice: once on a Loyale and once on my present Brighton. Drilling out takes time but you only have to drill the threaded part of the bolt (an inch and a half?). Once done just put a longer bolt and lock nut. Holds very well and much easier to remove next time. Dont forgert lots of antiseize.
October 17, 200619 yr Be patient though. I was in a rush and the bit walked on me and now I am replacing the whole knuckle but it can be done.

I've done it three times, but you have to be super careful not to get the hole too off center, or you will be replacing the whole knuckle.
October 17, 200619 yr A good idea might be to first drill a shallow pilot hole being extra careful to center it on the bolt and use the right size bit afterwards. Stop every now and then to insure that you're drilling in the right direction.
October 17, 200619 yr Is there only one pinch bolt on any given Subaru? One on each side at the front = 2
