So I see some doubters here, I've been doing marine and industrial repair and maintenance for close to 40 years now and I have a set of extractors and Left Hand cobalt bits in my box. They've saved a lot of work, and made a lot of believers. Drilling the bolt relieves the stress using the LH bit means all of the torque is trying to twist the bolt out and gives you a head start on the easy-out. And yes it works on rusty and bi-metallic corrosion and if you're lucky even on galled SS. Don't count on the last.

I used to work in the toolroom at a plastic injection molding facility. Removing broken hardware is a huge part of the job. By far the worse thing to remove from a blind hole is a broken dowel pin. I was just going to say that you can get easy-outs in sets. They have the appropriate size left-hand drill with them. Most often, the broken stud comes out with the drill and you don't even need the easy-out.

the reason an eazy out is not the best answer is it creates expansion and hench causes additional pressure to the thread surface thus defeating the removal attempt.the left handed drill is a little known and seldom used quick answer,smart stuff.I would have used a little larger bit as it relieves even more side wall pressure but you really have to have your center and bit alignment correct if your take the tolerances closer.Nice job you just made many people's lives easier.

I have many years of working on different types of machines . The best way if you have a welding machine weld a nut to the broken bolt or stud. after it cools down spray on penetrating oil and wiggle the bolt until it starts to move. If you have stainless steel to stainless steel and the bolt has frozen you are going to probably have to drill and re-tap the threaded hole.

Great video. For some applications this would work great(such as sheared off bolts). A left handed drill bit would never be able to remove a bolt which is seized in an engine block. Think about the amount of force it takes to get the head of a strong hex bolt(Usually grade 5) to twist off. The drill bit strength will not even come close. I have had broken bolt extractors break on me in the past, a few times. I just uploaded a video showing my solution to a recent problem.

As a forty year professional mechanic, I can sat you are correct. Yesterday I was extracting a broken exhaust manifold bolt from a 4.8L GM engine. It was broken flush. It's a rare occasion that a left handed drill bit will back the bolt out. One must first consider why is the bolt broken. Is it cross threaded, rusted, bottomed out? Most of those conditions is going to prevent backing it out with a left handed bit. What is worse, breaking off a drill bit or an easy out because those are hardened and makes drilling them out almost impossible. On the 4.8 L yesterday, it was just a whore. It was an 8 X 1.25 and I finally ended up drilling it out and Heli-coiled it to a 10 X 1.25 Fortunately is was a Savana Van and I was working on #7 cylinder. I had removed the motor mount bolts and lifted the engine to give me good access. It ended up being a good permanent repair and will outlast the life of the vehicle.
@Gottenhimfella8 жыл бұрын
What people are not factoring in here is that *if* the drill is almost as large as the root diameter of the bolt, rather than as shown here, (in my experience) the remnants will not have enough strength left to hold themselves outwards against the female thread. Generally what's left of the bolt (effectively little more than a helical coil) will wind itself out if you feed increasingly hard so the drill bites before it gets right through. The heat from drilling also helps. If you don't have a left handed bit the right size, just sharpen the tip of a RH bit the wrong way.

As an engineer by trade I have found that this method generally doesn't work, the easiest solution is to use molycote or anti-seize compound on the threads before tightening/torquing the fixing. I prefer to weld a nut on the broken bolt and pull it out, or ld drill it out and tap the hole again, broken bolts cause flat threads (amongst other things)

Some basic rules. 1 If it broke when you tried to unscrew it an extractor (easyout) 99% of the time will break in there. 2 You need to know how to find the true center of the bolt, the thread pitch is important here so you can figure out the true center. 3 If someone has already had a go before it comes to you then your problems have just started. 4 If it broke in a blind hole while tightening it may be bottomed out so will not be easyouted. I have drilled out extractors with tugsten drills.

+Ultimate Handyman could WD40 can help penetrate? this kind of situation always give me a hardtime at work
@ultimatehandyman8 жыл бұрын
Yes WD-40 can help. You can get some better spray penetrants but WD-40 is fine in many cases.

Can you remove with regular drill bit not left handed
@ultimatehandyman4 жыл бұрын
Yes, but you will need a screw extractor- kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX7VdYyAq75jitU Thanks for the comment 👍

Would you recommend this method over an easyout? I have an M6 bolt with bimetal corrosion snapped off flush with an aluminium engine cover. Probably the toughest one I've had to deal with yet. (Bike is japanese obviously).
@ultimatehandyman10 жыл бұрын
Yes, I would always try this method first.
@gogogeedus10 жыл бұрын
Eastouts tend to spread the bolt wedging it against the thread, if you are going to use an easyout you will have to drill it, so why not use a left hand drill bit, it might come out as you are drilling it, actually it is highly probable.

What happens if I use a right hand drill to but in reverse, Will that work?
@ultimatehandyman5 жыл бұрын
No, I'm afraid that will not work. A drill bit will only cut / bite in one direction only. Thanks for the comment 👍

In the USA, these bits are readily available from you local auto parts store or tool truck. Yes, they are a bit spendy, ranging from $50 - 150 or there abouts. Do an online search for these examples: NAPA sells VG 11119 & VG 11135ZR kits made by Vise-Grip; stocked at a local DC. Other auto parts stores should also be able to get them. For bits only, DBLS105 by Blue Point & DMCLM5 by Matco are other examples. I would think these would also be available at your local hardware store, but I've had no luck.

I recently broke an exhaust manifold stud on my race car. Seeing as how I have a race this weekend, I may try this technique. I'm going to make sure I take my time with this though, as I do not want to cause further damage. Any tips?
@straight6Jeep13 жыл бұрын
So I'm workin on replacing the rear leaf springs on my jeep and i sheared a bolt that bolts into the frame and i can't really see the stud to drill in to it what you recomend i do to get the bolt out the left handed bit or a screw extractor?

Can we just use a normal drill and have it go in reverse direction?
@ultimatehandyman6 жыл бұрын
No, I'm afraid a normal drill bit will only cut going in the right direction. Thanks for the comment

Where is the best source for L.H. drill bits?
@ultimatehandyman10 жыл бұрын
I normally get mine from ebay

I've purchased mine at Harbor Freight. They're surprisingly strong, and I have removed many rusty bolts from old motorcycles that have snapped off. Even exhaust bolts.
@gogogeedus10 жыл бұрын
you can make them if you are skilled at sharpening drill bits, you just put the cutting edge on the opposite side, or in other word the back edge that would normally trail the cutting edge.

Left handed drill bit. I honestly didn't think they existed, always thought it was a joke like a left handed screwdriver, sky hooks or striped paint.
