I broke that bolt about a month ago before I discovered PB blaster in some of the threads here. I blast the heck out of every thing now.
I've discovered that the impact wrench seems to be little more gentle on these old bolts. I just keep forgetting that I have one.
I take 10 times more pictures then I post here.
I think cutting the door is my best option at this point? Plan to cut the top where the red lines are in the pic below. Bend it back as needed to remove the window. Remove the broken bolt. Weld the door back together.
