Excuse me for posting on the shop talk list about pre-war cars but it is related to shop work. I need a good way to remove 6 broken bolts/studs in a 34 Singer motor. I removed the oil pan on my car a

One way that is relatively simple is to buy a left hand drill bit that is about half the size of the hole, center punch the old bolts, and drill away. It is important that you keep the bit centered,

As far as centering the drill, I have a set of Snap On screw extractors with a set of guides included. Basically they are a piece of round stock turned to the OD of the hole with a small pilot hole t

Before any drilling be sure to soak the bolts with a good penetrating fluid. Not to restart the Kroil, WD40, bear snot, whatever discussions I love Kroil. Do that for at least a couple of days, reapp

I'm pretty new to this list, been lurking for awhile. Nobody has mentioned heating the studs yet. I always use an oxy/mapp gas torch to heat frozen bolts/studs until they are as cherry as I can get t

I will heartily second that, with the caveat that I like PB Blaster better than ordinary Kroil. ISTR someone saying that SiliKroil worked better, but I haven't tried it yet. Randall /// unsubscribe/

A method I've had good luck with is to weld a nut to the bit of the bolt or stud that sticks out from the surface. The nut gives you a way to put a wrench on it, and the heat of the welding will des

Easy-outs to me are pretty much the devil. I can't think of the last time they actually worked for me, if ever. The main problem with them is that they snap, and when they snap, you are sunk. You can

Soaking in penetrating oil is a good start, even just while you ponder your next steps. If it sticks out, you can cut a slot in the top and try to move it with a big screwdriver. Or cut flats on the

Screwdriver tip on a socket in a ratchet. If you've got three hands, a crescent wrench on the shaft of a screwdriver can give you quite a lot of torque. That's why the sides of good screwdrivers are

Lots of good replies thus far. I'd like to add that some sort of jig to hold your drill bit centered & square would be worth the effort. It need not be very elaborate - a hard wood block with a steel

Since I wrote the page, I take small exception to your comments :-) I've had reasonable success with EZouts. That said, I am very careful when I use them, consider them a tool of last resort, and ha

They aren't supposed to be "very brittle" ... perhaps you've been buying cheap imitations ? I would also hazard a guess that Chris uses a "torque limited" impact wrench, he doesn't just hit the easy

The impact though, by it's action, often breaks fewer things than a hand tool would. The hand tool will allow you to apply force in a way that you reach the elastic limit of the piece, exceed it, and

One *advantage* of using an impact is that all the torque can be applied along the axis of the extractor. Using hand tools one usually puts substantial side loads on the extractor, making it more pro

When using an easy out, I try and use a T-handled tap wrench, as it makes it easier to avoid the side loading. Of course, that's not always possible. David /// unsubscribe/change address requests to
