on my 05, GS, the clutch went out, and the two bolts that hold the sub frame on, which you have to remove to swing the rear frame upward, well one broke. I went to loosen them, and it was tough, so I started sparying thread lubrication, I like areo koil, sparyed for days, finally, it was time, and it broke right off. not good. I got some left hand drill bits, to start drilling it out, things started out good, as the smaller bits went in really good. I have new bolts so I know how long they are, and I marked the bits, so as not to drill all the way. things went well for the first three bits. Number four broke inside the bolt, have ever tried to drill a drill bit out??? not good,

I decided to take a break and ask for any advise

thanks

James
