#ZedShed BMW Z3 Rear Subframe Bushes

They are hex cap head bolts from the factory, we usually replace them for a standard bolt when refitting.

They are the original bolts of doom !!!
2 ea side. 6 mm hex But clean them inside and out , spray with Wd40 or equiv, hammer the hex socket in so its well seated in the head of the bolt…….and hope they undo !!!
Heat will help……

I had two that rounded off and managed to get them out using an Ebauer extractor set from screwfix or toolstation.

We say this every time we have to remove them. Get some heat on them.
