Remember the blue WRX that was on my lift one day when you came by Dean? They had broken that captured nut off, and we deduced that the only way to get to it was to cut into the uni-body...


Better than a tap would be a thread chaser. Taps can actually cut the existing threads slightly larger at times, and cause even the correct bolt to be too loose in there.

Let me look through my stuff and see if I've got the correct size chaser for you Alex.
