[Healeys] Stripped bolt

[Bob Spidell]

Rather than a big, electric 4" grinder one of the (much) smaller,air-powered 3"--you could grind the disc down to an inch if need be--cutoff tools might work better (about $0.99 at you local Harbor Freight).

Yes you need to be careful using both hands. I've done this in other situations. Use wet towels to cover area where sparks are directed... plus safety glasses and face shield.

Fairly brutal thing in a confined space. Wouldn’t want to slip off the bolt head and scar some other priceless piece of aged British Midlands technology? And plenty of sparks...

If you have working room to drill through the bolt head until if falls off wouldn't a 4" angle grinder be faster at removing it? 





Just a thought
