Jaffacakes Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 (edited) Well yesterday my bash bolt decided to snap off in my frame. Its stuck I cant really get any good pics because my cameras wank but you get the idea from this pic:I tried using a pair of plyers and it terned a few degreese fairly freely but the problem is the bolt is bent and theres nothing to grip onto to force it around.I was thinking of putting a drill in reverse, drilling the bolt and hoping for the best. But I dont want to mutilate it or f**k the threads.Anyone got any other ideas? Edited July 10, 2006 by Jaffacakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egg Fried Rice Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 If theres some sticking out get the mole grips on it or if its sticking out a fair bit, saw a groove into it and use a screwdriver to screw it out.JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King C Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Im pretty sure you can buy bolt extractors for this exact situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat hudson Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 bolt extrractors + drill = happy chappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffacakes Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 I've been attacking it with a small screwdriver and a hammer to straighten the bolt and its pretty straight now. I cant really grab onto the bolt because it just falls to pieces. How much are bolt extractors? Theres probably enough sticking out to saw a bit out the middle and tern it with a screwdriver. But I snapped my blade a few days ago so I'll probably to and buy a new one... I just found out that my drill doesn't have a reverse aswel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffacakes Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 [attachmentid=5904] Pointy one Oh eye.I have something like that I use to do lockrings up. I'll go sharpen it up with a grinder and have a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffacakes Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Done it boyo's.Got a small drill piece and drilled the sort of middle of the bolt out (couldn't get it dead center because it was slipping everywhere so did a fully messy job), then got a bigger bit and made the hole bigger then used the smaller one to pick apart at the edges of the bolt, then a m5 sized drill bit to clean it all up.for some strange reason there was threads in there so I was able to screw a new bolt in by hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
