Well done! Great instructions. A few additional tips. In some situations, paper won't work. I often cover areas that I do not want the swarf to enter by covering those openings or surfaces with inexpensive foam type shaving cream. When the job is done, simply remove the shaving cream and swarf using a shop vacuum cleaner. Don't worry about residual shaving cream, it's only soap and will not harm the engine. Staying on center is critical, as sometimes no matter what you do, the EZ Out won't remove the bolt. Using a pilot [1/8"] drill bit first, also speeds up the drilling process. The finish size drill will work faster and stay straight when first drilling a small pilot hole. Lastly, when all else fails, you get a HeliCoil thread repair kit, drill the bolt completely out and repair the threaded hole with the HeliCoil set. For the HeliCoil to work properly, you need the hole drilled "on center", otherwise the newly repaired threaded hole won't line up with the holes in the mating piece to be fastened [in this case the cylinder head.] Pro tip: Use Cobalt drill bits [you recommended this]. They cost double what HSS [high speed steel] drill bits cost, but stay sharp 5 times longer. Most importantly, HSS drill bits won't drill into a grade 7 or grade 8 hole. You only dull the bit. Cobalt [not those BS TINN coated] bits will easily drill out hardened grade 7 & 8 bolts. I like to start the drill motor out slow, to ensure that I keep the bit on center. However, once I have a nice cone, I increase the speed on the pilot hole. Small diameter drills work much better at high speed. You can use penetrating oil if you don't have the proper cutting oil. I prefer to drill all the way through the bolt, except in critical areas of an engine or other machinery, where doing so may cause you to drill into a cooling jacket or other area you don't want to drill into. Drilling all the way through, allows some of the stress on the bolt to collapse inward, easing the job. It also allows you to spray penetrating oil into the hole, thus getting lubrication to the threads on the opposite end of the bolt, again, easing the job.

Great instructional... corrected many of my previous errors doing this... and I'm often out on the (crappy) yacht when doing this sort of thing so good to see difficult circumstances taken into account. Still broke off the first remover I used but I think that was more a factor of how badly the worn bolt was corroded into the bolthole than anything else.

[@christopher_barr]

Hi Tim, I’m glad to hear this was helpful. The diameter of the easy-out is an important factor. They are made of a very hard, but brittle, metal and bearing in mind the cross-section of the bolt compared to the small diameter tip of the easy out which has to remove it, it’s not so surprising that they can break off. (I got away with using a small one because the head bolt didn’t need much torque to remove) If you manage to drill right in the centre then this pilot hole can be progressively opened out with larger drill bits and then a very large easy out can be used on the most stubborn bolts.

[@bigdogtim7998]

As a idea to get a true center, it is always best to use a hole punch to slightly indent your center, then use a small drill bit to drill the center hole, then redrill with the larger drill bit. This always makes it much easier to drill out the center of the bolt your extracting.

[@AmyLorenz]

Simple straightforward advice. I like the idea of the pointer trowel and tips on mortar consistency

[@dalebardsley2675]

Good to see you back uploading to this channel Chris! Really like the videos you do, very informative and explained well 👍🏻

[@christopher_barr]

Thank you Dale! I really wish there were more hours in the day as I have a never-ending list of videos that I would like to make... I'm very glad you enjoy them. Cheers, Chris 👍

very REAL world stuff. Thanks. I dig the eyebrows of triumph.

Cheers mate 👍

[@royevans4581]

Thanks for the tutorial on drilling. turns out I was always drilling way too fast and breaking drills! Not now, cheers mate. Oh yes, and I was looking for the thing that turned these easy outs and you told me that one also. Tap and die set on the way haha.

[@christopher_barr]

Nice one Roy, subscribe for more helpful videos on random subjects! Chris 👍

[@eedom69]

I got a stuck glowplug. I tried a sample first, but i'll try again. I had a hard time getting the extractor screw to dig in, but maybe my hole was too big.

[@duposflies2621]

Nice video, the same problem as mine, I hope I can get it out the broken fastener, I snapped off yesterday one of the fastener of my solenoid because it was dripping oil. Now I am like an idiot looking at the internet how to extract a broken screw.. i got lucky I found your video. Thanks.

[@christopher_barr]

Good luck getting it out Leon 👍

[@MindUrOwnBusiness77]

Use left hand drill bit in a drill on reverse when drilling into the fastener, sometimes it’ll unscrew the broken fastener before even needing to insert the extractor into the drilled hole

[@comfycostcleaning4140]

Great illustration mate was super stressed thanks.

Happy fixing! Cheers, Chris 👍

[@mikew4775]

I haven't read through all of the comments so apologies if someone has already mentioned this. Instead of blu-tac or putty, use grease or thick oil to hold your paper/card mask in place. Should be some of that on board any boat. Also, I would leave anything covering the pushrod gallery in in place until the stud is removed and all loose small items are out of the way. There is nothing worse than trying to fish out small tools from the engine (or bilge) when working in confined spaces. Dont ask me how I know. Otherwise, a nice clear explanation of how to use stud extractors.

[@ozyrob1]

The lesson here is don't buy cheap. The poor man buys twice. Thanks for the video.

[@Zerzil1974]

Great video, but I have never had one of those extractors work the way it was supposed to.

[@christopher_barr]

You have to get the hole you drill perfectly central, and if the smaller sizes don't work you need to increase the size of the extractor until you crack it.

[@manertk1636]

Hi, Good video. I am in a similar situation. Have the screws of my chair rusted, cos we use the chair in the bathroom. I was contemplating a similar trick when I ran into your vid, am glad my imagination is has some backing as I see in the vid here, thanks. However, am to try it out practically. Thanks anyway, best wishes.

[@zaytyga]

Left drill bits or regular bits?

What tool do you use to hold the screw extractor?

[@MindUrOwnBusiness77]

Tap handles are the preferred tool,

[@T-Sav]

just destroyed my bolt on the back of a penta 280 outboard, looked for a video on bolt extracting and low and behold another boater!

Hi there, check out my other channel KZbin.com/sailingbritaly There are lots of helpful boat DIY videos there. Cheers, Chris 👍

[@rc9266]

Running a shop vac as you file works great as well a small one is all u need

[@christopher_barr]

Great point buddy, I didn't have one on our old boat but I do on our new one. 👍

[@Re_mad7]

What am I doing wrong? I tried to drill a hole in to the dead coach screw/bolt but i couldn't penetrate it? Same situation as this video with the bolt head snapping off.

[@christopher_barr]

Try using cobalt drill bits and drill at a lower rpm with more pressure. Use a drilling compound if you have one too. I recommend you wear eye protection as cobalt drill bits have a habit of shattering and you don’t want bits of drill bit in your eyeball... Chris

[@reykjavik9187]

[@joshuaklingensmith7843]

Ideally you want a left-hand twist Cobalt drill. But in a pinch you can use a regular drill

[@nalolirashid924]

How can I get screw extractors

[@joshuaklingensmith7843]

@@nalolirashid924 you probably have to order them online. Hardware store would also have them.

[@mp-py7gs]

What you do is take a propane torch, or heat gun and heat up the metal around the perimeter of the bolt, so the metal will expand and the bolt will come out easier

[@christopher_barr]

Yes that works if a fastener is stuck, but you need something to turn it if the head has snapped off level with the thread... Other ways of freeing up a stuck fastener are to whack it with a hammer (a.k.a shocking it) or spraying freeze spray onto the fastener to shrink it.

[@shaolinthumbs]

Brilliant explanation, made it simple, I'd done the same thing...

That eyebrow movement was awesome after you got that out of the hole

It's traditional in the UK to do a funny eyebrow thing when you remove something from a hole - sometimes accompanied by strange noises. 😂😉

Can you please start using the Japanese subtitles or CC? To improve on my Japanese language skills. Upcoming video.

[@christopher_barr]

Sorry David, the English CC is generated by KZbin (sometimes I manually correct it for errors but it takes a lot of time...). I found the best way to learn Italian was to just watch movies in Italian. You learn it in the same way a child learns a language and by watching lots of different movies it stays interesting. がんばろうCheers, Chris

[@Top-Jimmy]

Hammer it home? Mate you need to use an extender to cut it in, not a hammer.!!

[@christopher_barr]

@@Top-Jimmy Hammering it in works. This also 'shocks' the threads and can help loosen them before you start the extraction. You're free to disagree, but this technique has worked for me on helicopters, hydraulic launch and recovery systems and cars... Cheers, Chris 👍
