Just changing the rtab and one of the carrier bolts has snapped. I was so lucky is was just one as they are all very badly corroded. Tried the usual tricks before trying to remove them - soaking several times with penetrating oil, trying to tighten them a fraction before removing etc etc.
What do I do now? I guess I will not be going anywhere this weekend now.
Anyone know of a mobile guy who does stud removal around Nottingham? It's the bolt that goes into the chassis so cannot unbolt it and take it to an engineering shop.

Sorry, it's the rear trailing arm bush. Have spent hours on the phone trying to find someone who can sort this for me, with no joy, yet.
