I've been doing this stuff, restoring old tractors and machinery for a half century now and here are some of my methods. Get some PB Blaster Penetrating Catalyst. Absolutely the best for softening any rust. I'm surprised that you didn't mention it. Most people are in a hurry and think that it will work right away. It doesn't. Patience is needed. Let it sit for a day or two. Make sure the part is always wet. Re-apply as necessary. This is what I'll do if the broken bolt is below the surface. If any of the bolt is above, or flush, I'll always mig weld a washer to the bolt and a nut to the washer. Wait till everything cools and out comes the stud! Piece of cake! Below the surface; Take a large prick punch and a good size hammer. Prick the center of the broken bolt. A couple of good whacks with the hammer will help break things loose. Get some left handed drill bits. I've found that properly prepared bolts will unscrew as you're drilling, MOST of the time. Snap-On are the best, but expensive. I start by using a standard 1/8" right handed drill bit (don't take the chance of breaking your expensive left hand bit) and drill down 1/2" or so. I'll now take a acetylene torch and heat the broken bolt if there is nothing flammable near by. You're only going to heat the bolt very quickly and not the surrounding metal housing. I'm talking like 5 seconds here. Not getting it white hot. If there is a chance of combustable hydraulic fluid, take a 200 watt soldering iron and heat the bolt until you see the penetrating oil start to smoke. More patience! Let everything cool! Take a break, have some coffee! The stud has to shrink back. Now I'll take a larger left hand drill and carefully start drilling. I little warning here. Some new drills are too sharp and will suddenly grab and break. I'll take a fine stone and remove a little of the cutting angle, making it closer to 90 degrees. The same thing you do when drilling soft brass or copper so the drill doesn't grab. If you do break a drill bit, try welding a washer to it and most of the time you can take a pair of pliers and back it out. These methods work for me maybe 99% of the time. I hardly ever use the hammer in type extractors. Mainly because they'll expand the bolt and cause it to be harder to remove. Just thought I would share some experience. Maybe give it a try. Broken bolts don't have to be a pain in the ass!

Aren't "Strap-On" drill bits those Chinese clones? :-) I've had a lot of trouble with any drill bits not made in the U.S.A. The Chinese have terrible quality control and some bits seem to miss the heat treating part of the manufacture. Either too soft or too hard. Buy quality, take care of your tools and they'll last a long time.

I learned working on cars/planes/trains, When a tool drops the sound it makes can illicit many responses. Most often the sound of metal/concrete brings on mixed feelings of joy and anger, the sound of metal on metal is enough to ensure a continuous stream of 4 letter words for several minutes. The worst offender however is when it drops and there's no sound.

13:15 - NO ! Not using a croissant wrench on a stud extractor ! Uneven lopsided force makes the extractor want to bend, only they do not bend , they snap, like you demonstrated. Use a tap handle, supplies even force to both sides of the extractor. Gets the broken stud out more often, reduces the amount of colourfull language.

I usually start drilling with the smallest bit I feel safe with drilling and not breaking. Something less than an 1/8". Don't drill all the way through with that small bit. Walk the bit around and make sure it's dead center. I can't stress enough how important getting dead center is. After you get a center hole started then go a little bigger. I rarely fool with easy outs anymore. Just drill and tap. If you don't have the right drills and taps or don't have the money to buy them . You probably shouldn't be trying this yourself. You don't turn easy outs with a crescent wrench. Use a tap handle . When using taps and easy outs, watch for torsion in the bit. You can see it twisting before it breaks. 45 years after watching someone do this and thinking " that looks easy, I can do that" It's still not easy but I rarely fail to get one fixed. I've only welded a nut on a broken bolt once or twice.

Howlee fuck. I've done too many and too much of this shite. Used to work in mining (fitter/engineer), and I can't imagine a much worse environment for corrosion and seizing except maybe a marine environment. But it's even worse down a pit, one can't just bust out the warm spanner. No flames or combustibles. To the extent of not even aluminium being allowed (aluminium unlike other metals causes a spark hot enough to ignite methane gas), unless specially licenced and treated, and then it was very rare, basically underground diesel loco's engine parts. Used to be a vehicle mechanic too. Water pump bolts and exhaust studs/bolts were always the bane of a mechanic's life. Usually in a pain in the arse position too. Being able to tackle them on the bench like this is sheer luxury.

hi there I have a simple cheap tip from a simple cheap mechanic. firstly drill into the centre of the bolt about 10-13mm deep and just over half the overall the bolt diameter then using a torx bit or a hexagonal bit use it to broach the hole you drilled using a good big hammer then it should just unscrew;-) Ps as you probably know most of the removal tools you can buy will wind into the broken bolt and can expand the bolt into the internal threads. but a torx bit gripping a 13mm deep hole reduces this problem. ( sorry my brain is graduated in metric only! I am from northern Ireland that's my excuse and I am sticking to it Ave.)

That's exactly the technique I used after shearing the head off of one the bolts I was torquing down when reinstalling my transmission pan. Drilling into the bolt was a bit difficult as it was recessed into the hole. But I did manage. I hammered a torx bit into it and it spun right off. I did use a pair of vice grips to start it turning, but once broken loose, I was able to spin it out with my fingers. After pulling the torx bit out of the bolt, the bit took no damage at all.

I work at a Tire Shredder as the only maintenance guy and we have two Columbus McKinnon (CM for short) shredders. They have two large rotors that turn into each other with rows of 1.8, 2.0 and 2.2" wide rectangular knives that are held to the rotor with three bolts each, 3/4" head 1/2" thread. about 360 knives per rotor. If something goes through the machine that it can't cut then it'll either break a knife or break the bolts holding the knife to the rotor. (chain reaction and normally causes hours of work.) To avoid taking the machine apart and needing to setup our mag drill to drill out the bolts (about 3 hours of work) we use a welding rod much like the "X-Tractalloy" rods you've probably heard of. Its tricky and the margin for error is very narrow when starting the process because before you lay down the flux with the first strike you can easily weld the broken bolt to the threads if you're not centered. But I just peck away at it. Strike and burn a bit then pull out. Wait for it to cool to cherry red. Drive back in. Eventually it builds a weld up out of the hole, weld a nut on her, blow on it with the compressed air to speed up to cooling process. After about a minuet we hit it with PB Blaster (not sure that it does much but we do it anyway.) and back the bolt out!

As an exercise in futility I once did this: I had a motor mount bolt break on my 0470 (aluminum block aircraft eng) on my airboat. I drilled the bolt and used a Proto easy out which broke just as the one AvE had, I drilled a hole half in the bolt and half in the easy out, 1/2 inch in that bit broke off. I tried various other bits and tools and ended up with a Dremel and some diamond burr bits for carving that I had. It took 6 hours to get the hole emptied of all the shit broke off in it and I had to Helicoil the damn thing also. I wish AvE was around that day to cheer me up.

I had already tried a few of these methods but this confirms my suspicions regarding my next step which involves heat. It's just a pain because the bolt is recessed about 40mm down in a 10mm diameter hole. The best part? Of course it's a chewed up flat head button cap. I'll get it eventually!

Chris, too many comments to read, but with the cheap extractors you tried, you are supposed to drill a pilot hole first with the opposite end of the extractor. I have a set of those and they won't drill a hardened bolt, but perhaps a pilot hole first with a proper drill?

heat bolt only (oxy acetyl), strike (and i mean really throw your purse at it)straight down at the bolt and then let it sit for a few minutes. hit with penettating oil and let it cool. left hand twist drill, more penetrant then extract. the key is the strike to jostle all the corrosion in the threads.

Sometimes mig welding a nut on the snapped off stud works too. It seems like sometimes it takes a few tries to get it to stick and get enough heat soak goin, so have a gaggle of crappy nuts to use. There's about 80 to 93 ways to do this job.

I was entertained by the video and comments. Since I don't own a welder, I would block off the center hole and heat the bolts slightly to get the penetrant to sink in more. It wouldn't be enough heat to cause a problem. Regarding tough bolts, that are turning a little and stopping...do not force and break the extracting tool. Instead, reverse and tighten to break loose the crud. Back and forth with patience and finesse, makes the job go faster than dealing with broken tools in the hole. When I first learned to cut threads in high school shop class, I learned to turn forward to cut maybe half a turn, then reverse a little to break the chips and repeat. Same principle when removing a broken bolt.

Those Grab-bit dealies (what I've always seen 'em called) are pretty good for aircraft purposes. Because damn near every small aircraft from 1950-the 2000's was aluminum everything. So for stripped screws in that purpose they work great. But I never imagined using them on a bolt, I'm not surprised they didn't do much work.

I'd love to see freeze spray + one of those spring loaded nail drivers (maybe a super homemade one?) just to see if a bolt can be fractured. Come to think of it, a stand mounted spring loaded whacker would be an interesting tool. Maybe with a laser pointer, and some kind of high powered spring that needs a crank/lever to stretch it, and a release mechanism that can be actuated while standing behind a lexan shield - this would be cool to see.

Found over the years of drilling aircraft screws and bolts that if I drill at a medium speed the bit will last for 8 or nine bolts. Also the granddads easy outs are still golden. Have ground some down to fit the drill bit I want to use and also grinding a smaller easy out and using the portion that is close to the shank gives a stronger bit. Also invested in one of those T- Handle ratcheting bit holders, another time saver. Time to put out some more fires. Aircraft taxing up.

Yup, you’re right, I don’t think we make tools anymore in Engerland. I try various methods for extracting studs. One is, I’ll centre punch the stud, in the centre, then slightly angle the centre punch, going 12 o clock, then 9, 6, 3, repeat, tapping away with a small hammer, steady away with patience. If not, then lathe drills, they’re reverse spiral, drilling with these can unscrew the stud. If that doesn’t work, try place a nut over the stud, then weld through the nut centre, don’t weld the stud to the housing or whatever the workpiece is for obvious reasons. Don’t worry too much over welding something that is a pressure vessel. If it goes bang, you won’t know....

Kroil is far and away the best penetrating oil I've ever used, and I've used them all. PB Blaster is also excellent, I use it for really crusty, filthy stuff like leaf spring shackle bolts and such, it seems to penetrate dirt a little better. A good dousing in Kroil followed by a few sharp whacks with a whammer, followed by a few hours/overnight, and then judicious application of appropriate tools, I find, virtually never fails me. I'm a hobbyist hot-rod/Jeep/dual-sport motorcycle weirdo and professional IBEW journeyman commercial/industrial electrician, for insight as to what kind of garbage I have to work on regularly. Acetone and transmission fluid (2 parts ATF to 1 part acetone) is probably the best penetrating lubricant there is, but doesn't come in handy aerosol cans that can be carried in your glovebox or tool pouch with precision straw snouts to snorkel into little places.

I went into a gas station and got a can of WD and sprayed it down and she fired right up and ran fine. WD stands for water displacer, not sure what the hell 40 means.
