S14 E-brake nut snapped

[Raindrop]

Hi, my name is Danny. I currently finally got my hands on an S14 and recently done a Z32 big brake and 5 lug swap. I snap a nut along with a stud on the E-brake cable, the one next to the drive shaft and E- brake handle. Now I can't get one side on and fully mounted. Is there a fix? Because I don't think my Nissan dealership can fix this. Plz help me out

Take a picture...no clue what nut you're talking about. Only nut I can think off is the adjustment/tensioner nut at the end of the line that's hooked up to the handle itself.

You see how one screws in and the other doesn't. Is there a fix besides wielding it. Also lol I'm breaking bolts left n right I had to buy me a spiral screw extractor. The rust is getting to me lol

You will need to drill it out. Possibly re-tap it. Use some penetrating oil like pb blaster and soak the crap out of the nuts if your snapping bolts.

Thinking bout drilling it out from the top, but I might have the cut a hole from the top to get in the frame so I I can wield in a bolt from up top. Trying not half ass this shit cause I love my s14 n want it around forever. Ppl try to tell me to dry screw it in, I say hell no. & also I have tried tapping on other things. The problem is the bolts never sits right or flush there always loose when fully screwed in, and it's on eBrake cable I don't want it snapping off.

So the broken part of the bolt is still threaded in, correct? If so, buy bolt extractor and go under.

its a stud that is captured in the frame rail.

the easiest way to fix this, is cut the stud flush, then drill it out (make the hole big enough so that the hex portion of another bolt will fit), take another M6 x1.0 bolt of similar length and weld it in.
