    Did they snap off flush, flat & level or slanted? Helicoils are easy enough to fit, getting the old bolt out is the hard bit... should be easy enough with an easy-out now that the head is gone & the tension is off the threads?

    No they snapped about 2mm inside the thread,ill try Lightning Services,i think being bolts for holding the disc to the wheel i think the problem is Loctite being on the thread plus rubbish metal the bolts are made of.

    Might be worth asking in GM Stevens aswell As they have a machine shop on site, they may well do something up there :-/

    I did phone them but they said they couldn't do it which i thought was a bit strange seeing as they have got a machine shop

    They do mouldings and small components, so no set up for maintenance.

    What size thread is it??
