Captain_Crazy Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I already broke a few extractors off trying to remove the broken bolts,. Do you guys think these will work better, I'd bet, it's made of stronger steel. https://www.buyspeedout.com/?MID=4416414 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5523Pathfinder Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Left handed drill bits work the best. First use a bit slightly larger than the stud to remove the material that the burr on the broken stud want to dig into. This will make a nice "face" on the broken stud and will center your next drill bit. As it digs in, it should pull the broken piece with it.
