Was changing the front wishbone on me car, decided to take the suspension strust off to get more access, put a little bit of force on the top mounting bolt and it sheered straight off...tried the second one..did exactly the same Mad Now i've gotta figure out how to get them out.

lol you can't mate, trust me I have tried.

Eventually my solution was to grind the captive nut off then punch/drill out what was left then use a nut and bolt to secure it.

I would suggest new top mounts though.

Always use copper grease on the bolts.
