i need help please

So I'm swapping my na drive train for t2 and when I was taking the rotors off the rear to push the axels out I snapped the heads of two bolts that are the caliper braket bolts. Now I've tried getting them out. No luck. I managed to get the steering knuckle off to work on it better. Still no luck. I guess I need a new steering knuckle and caliper bracket? I'm upgrading the brake system but will need that knuckle. Anyone help?

You should post a want to buy in the For Sale section. You might find it's more cost effective to just replace it.

Or you could simply drill and re-tap the plugged up holes

The heads of both bolts that connect the toe hub to caliper bracket broke off. I drilled straight thru but no luck getting them out just yet. Anyone know if there's a difference with the toe control hub between s4 or s5 or n/a & turbo?

the hubs are the same for all 5 lug models. How in the **** did you snap those? heat, or PB, or both if things look rusty and stuck. Dont just slap breaker bars on hand tools man. Impact guns are your friend as well.

Yea I've pb blaster everything so far. I picked car up from up north so the salt on the roads caused a decent amount of corrosion. I managed to get everything else( drivetrain wise) out. I want to put all my t2 stuff in but this has caused a road block. But thanks for the help. I'll keep trying.
