I am in the process of swapping out front fenders, bumper and moulding from my s5 parts car onto my 88 gtu. Both bolts on my driver-side fender, on the bottom near the rocker panel, broke off from rust. In hindsight, I know I probably should have soaked all the bolts with WD-40 before taking anything off. Is there any way to remove the inserts the bolts screw into and replace them so I can attach my fender all the way? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just didn't want to risk breaking anything else ( I kind of Hulk-Smash things more oft than not ).

Thanks,


Mike

 

They all brake. They are held in from an plastic snap clip.

Drill em out push em out beat em out. Replace plastic thing if needed and that's it.

 

Should my mazda dealer carry them?

 

umm, they bolt to the steel on the car.

Yes, you can drill them out.

Or do what I did, cos I was lazy: drill a 1/8" hole int he fender and rivet it to the car..lol
