broke bolt, then made worse...


Recommended Posts

depending on location here's a very quick method - i've drilled a hole adjacent to the sheared bolt/EZout and then "knocked" the broken bolt into the newly drilled hole to wiggle it out.  then drill and insert a helicoil which takes up most of the hole you just drilled in terms of circumference.  do the drilling on the non-compromising side - like the side away from the gasket/coolant ports - or whatever it is you're working around.  

 

quick and easy since aluminum can be drilled in like 15 seconds.
