“mechanics secret” to EXTRACTING a broken bolt

[@pnz4aufsh]

Why not slide blade adapter off PTO crank end....its possible to avoid much of that work by checking that first. Since the blind bolt hole goes through blade adapter than only friction from rust on shaft and in keyway would hold it on because adapter works like a clamp only when theres a bolt head to sandwich everything. Theres a chance there could be enough bolt ecsposed to grab with vice grips. If bolt is sheard off flush with PTO end of crank shaft than yes punch it,drill it,extracter it like normal. Good video and good tip 👍 for anyone who needs it and its straightforward no yada yada stuff. Hope my addition to this video will help others someday.

This is no secret, extractors have been available most of my life.
