Hi Lee,

I am not coming up tomorrow, I was going to have to work so I gave up my place on the team. Now I am not working  :evil:

Thanks for the offer though.  :lol:

Regards

Mark

BrumLee:
Glad you're all sorted on the bolt issue  8) You can also get reverse drill bits that help if the broken bolt is not siezed.

Sorry you're not coming tomorrow but I'm sure we'll bump into each other soon  :wink:  :lol: See you soon

burgerman:
looks as im a tad late on this one,   But yes    reverse drills are worth there weight in gold,  yet again dont buy cheap ones,  i have found that even with seized bolts that the heat and vibration also helps to shift the bolt, as you have to drill a pilot hole for a stud extracter any how,,  glad ya got it fixed anyhow

I was pleasantly suprised to drift a sheared stud out once. It was a decennt diameter and had not sheared off smooth so there was something to tap but it actually came out quite readily that way using a centre punch and hammer.

Well sorted on the broken stud/bolt . . . . glad it didn't cause you any hassle. Looks like you got out of that one easily  :wink:


Always a worry are broken studs/bolts.
