Call around to hardware stores and ask if they sell spiral screw
extractors. Before you jump in the car, measure the diameter of the bolt shafts you need to remove. And, if you know the socket size that fits the heads, write that down too. I tried that already. Either it didn't work or I went too easy on the hammer. Anyway, it could not grab the bolt and could not spin the bolt out. I attempted to drill one of the broken bolt away. But this simply messed up the thread in one of the hole. Hammer???????? Do you mean I am not supposed to use a hammer to work with the screw extractor? I am under the impression that I am supposed to drill a hole in the middle of the borken bolt, and hammer the screw extractor down into the hole, and then use some kind of handle bar to lock on the screw extractor and turn counter clockwise, and hopefully the screw will back out. This was exactly what the owner of the hardware store told me to do. May be we are talking about two different types of screw extractors? May be you are referring to the type that is like a drill bit, and we are supposed to use it with a power drill (running in reverse) to dill and back off the bolt? I could not use that type because the bolt was sunken inside a small hole that the special drill bit was too large to fit inside. Jay Chan |
