<div>Chased the threads of the other three holes and found 10-32 threads. Just finished drilling consecutively larger holes in screw starting with 1/16". Finally knocked the screw inside with the last drill bit. It was a little off center, but left enough
of the original hole and threads to run the tap through. It's loose, but a little thread locker should keep it in place. First picture was a good start with the 1/16" bit a little off center. Second picture shows success.

<div>Had the same issues when I restored #588...I was able to punch, drill and easy out the bolt after first heating the busted shank with a torch. If you can stay centered as much as possible and use the smallest drill which would take a 1/4" easy-out , you
should be able to salvage the threads. Once you get it moving rock in back and forth as you turn it out, I also use Lucas Tool Box Buddy-penetrent to help it move. Early 100s used 1/4" BFS (photo) but by the time your car was made, it is probably UNF. You
are most correct in saying " <span style="color:rgb(38,40,42); font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:13px">Nothing is easy on this car." Regards, Hank, healeyhelper.coom</span><br clear="none">

<div dir="ltr">Mike are there any threads sticking out on the backside of the nut? If so you might be able to break the bolt remnant loose with a vise grip .If it is threaded full length, you could continue to turn it till it comes out on the back side of the

As appealing as that sounds to shoot it out, with my resources drilling it out is my only option. If I (if you'll pardon the pun) screw it up, it will have to have a larger hole cut out and the J&B Weld a blind nut insert in there. A little paint and then
who will know? Nothing is easy on this car.<br clear="none">
