Remove A Damaged Bolt

Honest approximately the most frustrating affair is to gash a bolt and annex bite of it stuck in the gap. With the correctly tools, you can pull that bolt gone with hasty or no damage to the gap.


Instructions


1. Using the smallest metal drill bit on labourer, drill a captain gap into the stuck bolt. Be persuaded to centre the drill bit in the bolt. As you moxie nailed down the Emigration manner and jewel that the Steersman gap is very insufficient, motion up to the following amount provided necessary.


2. Once you've drilled the pilot hole in the bolt, insert the extracting bit into the hole, attach the vise grip to the end of the bolt, apply pressure and turn counter-clockwise (left to right). If the bit doesn't grab on to the bolt, use a hammer and gently give it a couple of taps on the extracting bit. You want the extracting bit to bind into the broken bolt.


3. As you turn the extracting bolt counter-clockwise, it will dig and grab into the broken bolt and begin to pull it out. This may take some time and effort. If the bolt is a large one, you may need to drill a larger pilot hole and use a larger extracting bit. Be patient here because if you over-drill the hole, you could end up ruining the hole and threads that are holding the bolt.


Place the magnet over the hole where the broken bolt was removed to pull up metal filings. Use a toothbrush and clean the threads of any possible metal pieces. Spray with compressed air and you are done.


4. After the bolt is removed, take a bolt5.
