01 Cherokee Sport.

Trying to do a TC drop after my 3" lift and 31's, both the bolts broke off at the head... so I drilled out the holes completely and my plan was to run some wire through it, down the frame rail and wrap around a new bolt and fish it through the drilled hole... Well, the drilled hole isnt big enough to get the bolt to angle and come down through so now I have 4 drilled holes, 2 bolts lost in the frame rail and a cross member thats being held up with a jack.... Please someone help me fix this mess ive made. cant even drive the jeep now!

Thank you guys in advance

I cut holes in the frame rails to put a wrench on the bolts

What size hole saw did you use and did you just put it on a drill? Looks like i cant get a good enough angle to hold it straight with a hole saw and drill

Bought harbor freight hole saw for metal. Used biggest size that my wrench would fit through.
