Default DIY-Bolt Extraction

Well my caliper bolt broke in half inside, so i decided to do
a DIY for people who might have the same problem in the
future.Sorry for the pic quality. Crappy camera.



The alternative:

Heres what you need:

-Goggles (Dont want to lose an eye)
-Gloves (unless you want heavy crud under your nails)
-Lubricant (Liquid Wrench or Wd-40)
-No.1 Screw Extractor
-T-Handle Tap Wrench
-Drill with 1/8" bit
-Hammer (not included in the pic).


Craftmans 1/4 - 1/2in. Steel Tap Wrench = $4.99

Craftsman No.1 Screw Extractor = $2.99



Craftsman Specification:
Screw Extractor----Drill Bit

No.1---------------No.30 (1/8")
No.2---------------No.12 (3/16")
No.3---------------15/64"
No.4---------------5/16"
No.5---------------3/8"
No.6---------------15/32"
No.7---------------9/16"

FYI: DO NOT GET THE SPIRAL EXTRACTORS. I HEARD THAT THEY
BREAK EASILY. GET THE NON-SPIRAL ONES.

1. First, spray some lubricant in the area. Let it soak for 2
mins. or more. Then, drill in the center of the bolt using a
1/8" bit. Spray more lubricant after you drilled the hole.


2. Second, put the screw extractor into the hole and tap it
in with a hammer.Get it deep enough to get a good grip on the
broken bolt. Then attached the T-Wrench like so.


3. Finally, turn it counterclockwise and Viola!!!
Bolt no longer OWNS me!!!!


BOLT IS OUT!!



THANKS FOR LOOKING
