Just snapped the left side pinch bolt holding on the steering knuckle
right side came off no problem..

Any suggestions? my thinking is to remove the entire strut assemble and drilling it out. does this sound reasonable or anyone have any simpler suggestions?

Thanks for any advise, I'm in the midst of attempting a clutch rebuild so far this is really the only problem so far, but still have a long way to go

 

I'm pretty sure drilling it out will be your only solution...I believe the R56 pinch bolt can be used to re-assemble and utilizes a bolt and nut.

 

drill it out

 

Pretty much what I figured. Thanks for the reassurance though. Turns out it was easier to just remove the strut assembly along with the knuckle/drive shaft all in one piece anyway

 

P.S. subframe is out!
