How to Drill Out a Broken Bolt?

ps.com... Clams Canino wrote: I wanna know how you broke *three*. I mean - after you broke one... didn't a clue rake at least try to hit you over the head about the rest of them? Actually, I could have broken all four -- instead of merely three. I must have come to my sense when I was bearing down on the 4th bolt. I have a tendency to over-doing anything (such as running my knee to the point that I needed to have a surgery done on my knee). And tightening up the bolts too much is one of my tendency. That was the reason why I bought a torque wrench hoping that using the torque wrench will prevent me from over-torquing the bolts. Unfortunately, I mistook 60-inch-pounds with 60-feet-pounds, and I ended up over-torquing the bolts by 12 times. And the fact that the torque wrench that I use is quite big (designed more for higher torque such as for torquing the propeller); therefore, I didn't get a good feel of the tension. I have ordered a 1/4" torque wrench that is designed for lower torque (such as 60-inch-pounds); hopefully, this will prevent me from making a similar mistake. Jay Chan 1/4" for 60 ft lbs.....hang on a minute. Who makes a 1/4" drive wrench with 60 *FOOT* lbs in its range? |

You are going to have a very well stocked tool box by the time you are finished with this project. :-) Eisboch |

Maybe he'd loan out those tools on occasion. |

And then make sure the socket you use does not bottom on the case. That way you get twisting and an impact lengthwise at the same time. Was the only thing that got aluminum screws out of a Kawasaki engine case with out stripping the heads. |
