Hi guys, I was removing my bump stops and one of the bolts snapped. Looks like Ill have to disconnect lower control arm to be able to drill out the remaining bolt.
any other suggestions.
Thanks

Im having a similar issue with my skid plate screws. Snapped two off. Yours might be big enough to dremel a divot in the middle and use one of those extractor things after soaking in penetrating oil. Thats what I am going to try. If you don’t have room. A right angle drill/attachment? Think the attachment isn’t too expensive

Can you unscrew it from the top?
It should turn fairly easily…. Methinks.
I think there was a similar thread not too long ago.

Not that it's much help, but I had the same thing happen on my '03. One side came out easy, other side snapped on the first turn.
Instead of trying to get the bolt out, I cleaned/grinded/prepped the surface and then got the highest strength JB Weld I could find at the store and just "glued" it right to where it was supposed to be.
Had it on with no issues for over 30,000 miles and tons of rough terrain (over 900 miles of straight dirt road in Canada). Probably would have went longer but I ended up selling the 4Runner.
