Rear Suspension

While removing the spring plate retaining cap, one of the bolts broke. I should have fixed this before I painted the pan, but I forgot until I was in the process of applying the Rust Bullet.

I started by cutting off the portion of the stud that was sticking out. Then I drilled a small pilot hole all the way through the center of the broken off bolt. Next I reamed out the hole to the correct size for the tap. Finally I tapped it out and test fit the cap. Everything works perfectly.
