one of the bolts that fixes the steering rack has sheered, i am unable to remove it but you can wigle the head around underneath, whats holding this bolt in? a loose captive nut? it will not come out!!!

yeah just tap it out with a hammer. its got like a toothed shank to stop the bolt spinning in the subframe when you're trying to do up the nuts
