I searched the archives here on the board and there was another reported incidence on a 700 series vehicle, but nothing about the 900. It did not describe the final outcome but the advice given was much the same. Get an Easy Out and drill it out, or put in a helicoil, and replace the bolt. I am not set up for either of these. I am going to try the dealer, to see if they can get it in, as they are notorious for being backed up for five days or more. Here in Detroit they have "too much business" due to all the Ford employees that drive Volvo's on the so-called "A" plan. There are a LOT of new Volvo's here.

My other option is a local muffler shop that does all kinds of work and has helped me out in the past. I suspect he must have Easy Out's and Helicoil's to fix broken studs for manifolds and what-not. In fact he is probably my best bet.

Any other suggestions? I'll post the findings once it's finished.
