RE: Broke the bolt head off
Kobalt bit didn't do jack cr$#. So far 20 dollars spent in bits, heres a lesson people titanium isn't going to cut it. I took it to a car shop, hopefully they can get the bi5235 out.

Twas about a mile from my house so I got the other two bolts in and drove real slow with a friend in a huge suv following me. Needless to say we had a long line of traffic after us.

I hope you bought Cobalt (as in cobalt metal) not the Kobalt brand drill bits. Kobalt brand drill bits are just titanium drill bits. Actual Cobalt bits are harder to find and are about $5.00 - $8.00 a bit but are stronger than titanium. I know as I almost the Koblat brand bit at Lowe's by mistake. If you haven't taken it in yet try and find these bits, you'll have to call around. Good luck with the repair.

Agreed. Cobalt bits work man! I used to break bolts off on my old Trans Am all the time, but I don't think I ever had one break that I couldn't drill out with a good cobalt bit.

The replacement bolt is 12 bucks freaking redicilious. Ontop of that they said it would be here early this morning... went there this afternoon... yep you guessed it they won't have it till friday! (STEALERSHIPS SUCK!)
Yea I went to lowes and bought a Kobalt thinking thats what you ment, oh well its at a good shop now and hopefully they will take the sucker out real easy then.
