Yeah, I snapped that little stud in the front of the targa top support bracket. You askesd how I broke it; Too much torque! :rolleyes: :( Oh well. I hope someone knows how to get at this thing. If not, I will start exploring. Do not over tighten the nut on this stud. Just get it really snug and go on to the next step. Still really upset. :mad Stress and anger level went through the roof when it happened.:cuss Live and learn! :yesnod: :cheers:

I saw on QVC (sold out) a stud remover set, made by Craftsman. It had four different size extractors. The cost was $39.00. It attached to a drill. It looked like it worked really well while they were demo-ing the product. They said that it was sold on QVC and at Sears.
