      I heated the bolt with a lighter and used a chisel and hammer to unscrew it one tap at a time. Slow and fidgety process, but it works!

  • @alwcurlz
    @alwcurlz 7 ปีที่แล้ว +42

    One of the best ways I've found to remove broken bolts is to use a tool of some sort and cut across the bolt surface to create a groove/slot for a standard screw-driver. A "dremel" (rotary tool) with the tiny cutting wheel works best for nearly every application. As long as the bolt isn't rusted in or bottomed out in the hole, the bolt will turn out. Using heat will make a big difference if it's a stubborn bolt.

      @dougwells1959 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually there's nothing saying it had to be the same size bold. THerefore, a possible method 8 would have been to drill out the clean hole and thread for a larger bolt (no helicoil needed).

    • @larcat3148
      @larcat3148 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      With method 6 you should retap the thread afterwards just to clean up any damage.
      A variant of this that I've done is to make the hole big enough to get a junior hacksaw blade through it then cut at least 2 parallel slots through the chamber of the hole towards the edge of the thread. Then collapse in the screws shell. I use a tool from a lathe that looks like a mini flattish chisel, not a screwdriver.

    5:59 Bolt extractors are not cheap and they break easily if you turn them like that. If the broken bolt is at all stiff then use the same two-handed wrench as at 8:29 to avoid side force.

  • @AnttiHarri
    @AnttiHarri 8 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    You can also drill with about 3 mm drill and hammer a TORX bit into the hole. Works great on M6 bolts and other smaller ones. This method doesn't ruin the thread if you drill carefully.
    And also usually once the cap of has been removed from a bolt that's stuck, the rest of the threaded part comes off really nicely.

    Best investment for doing the work featured in the video is a set of Left Handed Drill bits, Carbide bits, small chisels, long tapered centre point punches. The reducer threads should have been cleaned with alcohol / acetone / ether before applying the thread locker,(likewise the parent threaded fixture.) "Staking" the insert (neatly) when in position is also a guarantee against failure. The person in the video means well, but does not appear to have a lot of experience / skill in performing that kind of task.

  • @docthebiker
    @docthebiker 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    If using an "Easy Out" Extractor.
    Get the center punch dead center for best results and then turn the extractor evenly with a Tap Wrench (from a tap and die set). Using a spanner/grips will put a bending force on the extractor, which being brittle hardened steel puts it at risk of snapping.
    Take note this is not just being a pedant. In this demo the bolt is not seized, and extractor is not under stress. In real life you'll regret not using the correct tool pretty quickly.

      With the pinpoint chisel he makes a groove and uses that to push the bolt backwards. With flathead chisel at least I use existing grooves to push it backwards. That's why I said it's no the same.

    If you have part of the stud protruding out of the hole, you could partially grind a parallel flat on the stud and then use some pliers to spin it out of the hole. Or you could grind a slot in it and use a slotted screwdriver to extract it as well. But there is many way you could go about this. There really isn't a wrong or right way as well. As long as you are able to remove the broken stud and not damage the threads, you are golden.

    In the first three methods... if the screw (actually a bolt!) were that loose that it could be tapped out with a hammer, screwdriver, or chisel... how did it break off in the first place? In my experience, a broken screw or bolt occurs because the tolerance is so tight that the screw or bolt will not turn without extreme force...

      +joonas meriläinen In our workshop workers do something like reverse sharpening of regular drill bit then drill that nut in "left" direction, if that doesnt help, overdrill and larger bore spindle, or welding ... but we use more then this simple 7 anyway....

      @Panchdara 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +jim sanker Yeah. Helicoil the way to go. I've had to do many, many reel clamp bolt holes on the Penn International "T" (tube frame) series as they used chromed brass bolts. The salt would corrode aluminum and the bolts wring(sp?) off. 1/4 x 20 Helicoil and good as new (never to corrode again!).

    Why not apply the green liquid before cutting the head of the reducer? Is that a glue or anti-seize compound?

    • @chemicaljonez
      @chemicaljonez 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Loctite. When it dries it will seize the thread, making sure the bolt won't turn/vibrate loose.

    • @jacquespoirier9071
      @jacquespoirier9071 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      and loctite provides a good seal against corrosion

    • @chemicaljonez
      @chemicaljonez 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tibor Végh while that's true, it's also an eponym. Since Loctite is the company that developed the formula, and at one time only made the one product, it's name is used generically, and anyone with any experience in engineering will know what I meant. Anything else is all symantics.

    • @chemicaljonez
      @chemicaljonez 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I know what you mean, like when all insulated drink containers are called a thermos, no matter who made them. I did however intend my comment to be read be people with engineering experience. After all, it's a video where a mechanic or engineer is showing tips and tricks. I believe the audience, in large, knew what I meant.

  • @Gottenhimfella
    @Gottenhimfella 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Tapered helical extractors are a wast of time, as they only work if the screw is loose enough for other methods to work just fine.
    In all other cases you have to apply enough torque to wedge them into the fastener which jams it even more tightly than it already was. Then they break.
    They're a typical "hardware store" item, like carbon steel drill bits, which hardly andy tradesman would ever consider using, let alone buying

    • @davidevans9462
      @davidevans9462 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Gottenhimfella Have you ever used Easy Outs ?They have an anti clockwise thread & work well. If you're a bit rough with them and don't drill an accurate hole, then they're not going to be any good.Not everyone can weld(If you can).Maybe drill a hole smaller than the diameter of the bolt ,into a piece of steel ,clamp it on and weld that .His welding looked a bit shoot from the hip...There endeth the lesson!.....

    • @bodichimon
      @bodichimon 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you have access to a lathe or various steel tubing, you could use a slice as a centering collar e.g. 6.5 mm o.d for a m8 thread, to fit inside the hole to the start of the thread, then a drill which matches the i.d/ bore, put it in the hole and drill it blind, then extract. ;) Could also use a bit of heat/ gas on aluminium, dependant on which part of the engine you're on, as it will conduct and expand alot quicker than steel.

    these extractions were pretty straight foreword.. the toughest extractions I've run across were removing broken exhaust manifold studs below the turbo on 3406 cats.. on those,you had to drill a hole all the way through the stud & then use oxegen/acel to heat the stud & blow the stud out with the oxygen only.. wasn't easy..

    • @crazybob1954mo
      @crazybob1954mo 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +terry wheatley after drilling all the way through you didn't use an easy out? Or you could have drilled the screw out totally and then re-threaded to next size. NO, you had to blow the the threads F..ing out with an O/A torch?? WTF !!!
      What Did You Do Then????

    • @goyeabuddy
      @goyeabuddy 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Bob Duvall
      after drilling through the stud, all the way, I would use the torch & CAREFULLY cut a side of the stud. once the side was cut, hit the oxygen dead center of the stud & the stud would literally blow out of the hole.. an old school mech showed me this trick, it took a little practice, but it works! since your working on a head, take your time & have a good torch. ever break a easy out inside a exhaust stud? that can make a bad/long day. exhaust studs have to be a exact size, oversizing won't work.

    • @goyeabuddy
      @goyeabuddy 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ragnar W. Eliansson
      a 3406 cat is a very expensive eng & you would run the risk of damaging the head by oversizing the exhaust stud. replacing a broken stud is a not an expensive job, mostly gaskets & labor. but if you did manage to oversize it, then you would have to drill the manifold to accept the larger stud.. I would never drill into a head for any reason, might be a mistake you would regret... good-luck!

      @robertdejongh8293 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The lot of you dumbasses', the drill bit is turning the RIGHT way.!! one: It' cutting steel and drilling the hole. Two: a drill bit going the wrong way will not drill, especially not in steel. Three, watch the feels on cars or wagons in the movies, they all appear to be going the wrong way, even though the vehicle is moving forward.
