[steamship]

Well, after a lot of lousy weather and other 'issues' I have to deal with, I decided to start working on the car. Got the headlights off fine and disconnected the loom going to the bumper and disconnected the washer pipe. That was the easy part! The two bolts for the bumper took me about a hour each to get out using a 60cm breaker bar, which leaves me with a question.

In the attached image, you'll see the bolt and the threaded bush it goes through. Near the far right of the bolt, you'll see a bright line. That's about three threads deep of stripped material (both bolts are like that). The question is, is the threaded bush in the image and the attached illustration (#28) threaded on the inside as well, because if it is, mine are both completely stripped? The initial force used to start the bolt removal wasn't that strong (I used a bog standard 1/2 inch ratchet handle), but after that I had to use the breaker bar until the last few threads.
