Pesky broken exhaust bolts.

[Captain_Crazy]

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.

Did you soak them down real good and let them sit? Left twist bit works best.

What kind and brand did you break? Nothing personal, but you know what you are doing? Experience does matter, and I've never found one magic tool that always works in any situation in 20 years of being a machinist (inluding making my own).

A brief primer...

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.
