Dude, i have a set of stud extractors aka easy outs aka reverse drill bits.
they're really simple just a tapered shaft with a sharp reverse thread, so as you screw it into a hole, it undoes the stud once it gets tight.
holler if you need a hand. could possibly pop over 2m evening.

where do i get one of these reverse drill bits????

made by n e one in particular or just a type of drill bit?

cheers

weld a nut un to it

as above, if u hit it out you'll fuck it up

use an easy-out its a reverse thread drill bit you just screw it in backwards and when it grips it unscrews the bolt.

get a drill and drill the middle of it out then get a flat screwdriver and hit it on the side of the drilled bolt and it will crack and fall out

I've removed a snapped bolt by using a hammer and puch as mentioned above! All depends if the thread went in loosely until it began its tension, if so and its possible to get to it, the hammer and punch thing might not work.

If all else fails, drill it out and pick away at th exisiting material thats left.

saw a groove in the top and use a screw driver, if not tap it round using a punch and hammer

can get reverse die thingys that u drill into the screw/bolt but it winds the opposite way to normal and undoes bolt

Fitting my exhaust to my turbo i managed to snap one of the bolts on the "elbow" that connects to the exhasut there is hardly any thread petruding on either side so i cant grip it to twist it out :(


How do i get this tiny peice of screw out? I was told to bash it with a screw driver, but its quite badly corroded on top and it wont seem to budge at all :(:(:(


I have another "elbow" off my old turbo but i cant get my rachet in to loosen the last two bolts :| the dipstick tube gets in the way, id rather not like to remove the turbo again as i think Mattb would cry :(

Help :wave:
