Nicely done! You make it look easy. . I broke one of the screws that hold the passenger headlight down on my 2004 Corolla. The screw was really rusty. I will try a screw extractor first, and this is Plan B.
You could still use the same size tap. You just need to drill it as close as possible without drilling too wide and stripping the already existing tap.
I have several bolts snapped off inside the thread where there is no way of grinding them flat but I can't find a single thing on TH-cam regarding this subject. I don't mean to sound like I know it all because I certainly don't but, it seems obvious to me to grind the bolt flat it at all possible what do I do when it's not possible is what I'm after. I purchased eight very good aluminium garden chairs that I am going to re-spray. When it came time to dismantle the chairs I found, missing, bent and broken bolts. The broken bolts are awkward enough to get to with a drill let alone anything else. The bolts are stainless steel and are as hard as heck to drill. Any help you can offer would be appreciated.
Yes, gloves are a good idea. Oil is a carcinogen. If oil and grease are on your skin, your body is absorbing some of it. And that makes your liver work harder, to deal with the oil and get it out of your body.
Thank you for the demo, greatly appreciate how simple you make the process look !!!
Thanks for the video. Great refresher. And love the background music.
Glad you liked it!

Thanks for watching Anthony!
did the extractor work
Love the kiss song plaster caster in the background.
Good reason to use anti seize whenever possible
So are you aren’t worried about swarfe getting in the engine?
Not in this case. Thanks for watching!
I used an impact driver and the tip broke flat on the bolt for my rotors. I can’t drill it out. I need some tips
Glad to hear kiss “plaster caster “ in background ... and the video was helpful too lol ty
If the hole is stripped out could I use same size tap or do I need to drill it out and go larger?
You could still use the same size tap. You just need to drill it as close as possible without drilling too wide and stripping the already existing tap.
So the tap bit will tell you which drill bit to use to pre-drill the hole before using the tap?

can i drill a hole in a bolt that was broken inside an original hole? basically tap a new hole in a broken off bolt?
Will it affect the operation of a machine if the bolt is broken inside? Once it is tighten inside it will not affect in any way?
Lube that bit next time
Doesn’t an m6x1 require a 5mm drill bit? I had to oder it specialty m6x1 tap and looked it up said 5mm, both had to be ordered in
You screwed a new bolt but how did you get the old broken bolt out in the end?
You drill it out and blow the scraps out with air. Thanks for watching!
I’m so glad all our bolts come from China
They make the best screws. I mean… if you ask anybody… everyone says they make the most tremendous screws. It's incredible.
Wat crack pipe are you smokin !! Your full
Of bs all communist made products are junk !!.. why do you think there so much cheaper ??
@@tomthomson51 the joke flew over your head
@@tomthomson51 your slower than an inbred
Nice. Broke a bolt head off after work on the ol duramax. Saved me in a pinch. What's the stones song playing?
I'm glad we can help! Thank you for watching!
What kind of drill bits were you using??
Time lapsed video drilling through steel takes a long while
Does that mean after drilling it out, tapping it to the very same threads as before?
No it will need to be larger. Thank you so much for watching!
2CarPros thanks for clarifying that. I thought it is drilling out the old bolt and after that just cleaning the threads with the same tap.
@@ybrik5937 I have done this before with a flat bottoming tap. It worked perfectly. You have to be very careful, patient, and slow.
@@ybrik5937 And your drilling has to be extremely straight, and not cut into the threads. Step up your drill bit sizes slowly, and methodically.
Will this get out a stripped oil drain bolt thats stripped inside the oil pan? Im thinking of creating a new drain hole and seal the old one
I would take the pan off the engine to not get metal shavings in the engine. Thanks for watching!
Why do they make bolts that can break like this
Every one of my screws is stripped - any good way to figure out the thread pitch on your tap when you dont have anything to go off of?
What about on a solenoid
I've seen a guy weld a nut on then remove the bolt.
If you have a welder. That method is so unreliable in my experience though. Thanks for watching!
Those gloves though.
Gloves are great! Thank you so much for watching!
Yes, gloves are a good idea. Oil is a carcinogen. If oil and grease are on your skin, your body is absorbing some of it. And that makes your liver work harder, to deal with the oil and get it out of your body.
Everyone knows that. The problem is how to drill out and tap the actual bolt size.
easy smeazy.
your drilling wayyyy to fast for a tap lol you need to drill slow.... plus you do anyway when drilling into steal
