Q: Bolt spins inside steering rack.

asked by on January 30, 2017

I removed the front subframe and steering rack before removing the engine. Trying to remove the steering rack out of the subframe and have removed the brace and all other bolts but the last one just spins and the other end is inside the steering rack. How do I remove this bolt?

My car has 125000 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.
