So I broke nearly every bolt taking my flares off so i was thinking I could press the old stubs out and get some new hardware and fix it?
Anyone done with with success without welding?

 

The best way to fix broken flare bolts on a bracket is with a new bracket from the junk yard.

You don't really need to do any welding. The whole thing comes off so you can reattach the flare if it falls off. I broke a bolt or two and just replaced the bracket myself. 10 minute fix:

 

But wouldn't it be easier to just get the old studs out and buy some nuts and bolts? I think I would have enough room to get a wrench between the flare the fender. i dunno seems simple to me

 

That doesn't sound easier to me.

 

Well, cheaper lol

 

leave the old studs in and drill new holes with nuts and bolts. EAsy peasy. T

 

Lemon squeezy. I might as well do the rear tomorrow too

 

Fixed them

 

Cool. Sometimes I think my flares are more trouble than they are worth. LOL

I still have them though.

 

Need to mount one more but the flare sits flush against the fender. Easy and cheap fix
