<div dir="ltr">I'm not suggesting you use a nut. Just weld a series of tacks to the end of the broken off bolt. The heat from tacking the welds is usually sufficient to do the trick. Build up a little tower of tack welds and use needle nose vice grips to twist the bolt out.<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, May 26, 2020 at 2:57 PM HealeyRick <<a href="mailto:healeyrik@gmail.com">healeyrik@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I think what Richard is suggesting is to find a nut with an inner diameter smaller than the bolt diameter, then MIGing it through the nut opening to the bolt and using the nut to turn it out I'd want to heat up the bolt first as it looks like it's probably tightly fused by paint and probably rust.

Using your MIG welder, put a tack weld on the end of the screw. A short one second tac for the first one . Then stack another tack or two or three or four on top of that. Using a pair of vise grips, twist the tacked on tacks. It may easily break off the first time or even the second time. That is a good thing because you only want to tack to the end of the screw and nothing more. The heat will break the rust bond and the screw will come out easily. <br></div><div>Drilling and attempting to use easy outs are a waste of time and most certainly you will bugger up the threads no matter have meticulous you are.
