who extracts bolts

[dboyle23]

Any major chains or anything extract bolts? I broke off a bolt from the oil return inside the turbo. It is pretty grim right now, since it is a small bolt I am thinking it might not come out, then I'm out a 16g.

take it to a machine shop if you have to go anywhere

I'm pissed because it is such a small bolt I am not sure if anyone can remove it. I am just gonna JB weld it on if they can't get it out.

DON'T JB Weld it you moron .

I got a craftsman small bolt extractor set from sears. Look it up on the net. Works wonders, but it works best of you follow the instructions like its the 10 commandments.

Thats exactly what I did... but I got the cheapie from autozone and in like 5 min bam bolt out. Just take your time when you go to drill the little pilot hole, make sure your as close to dead center on drilling the hole so you dont damage the threaded hole on the turbo. Rest is easy.

if you take it to a machine shop see if they will tig weld a weld bead post to to broken bolt so they can turn it out, just the heating alone of the bolt most of the time makes it very easy to turn the bolt out i remove lots of broken bolts with broken easyout broke off ithem this way

So I tried to drill it a little and use an easy out, no help though. I hope the machine shop with the laser can still take it out even though I drilled in to the bolt.

Would they be able to drill out the whole bolt to the same size? Like, since it's 10mm. Can they tap the bolt hole to the same size?

Maybe it would be possible to drill out to a larger size and use a reducer. I'm sure that might be a reasonable solution (worse case scenario). Any reputable machine shop can darn near perform miracles when it comes to fabrication.

You can always drill it out and heli-coil it. This is always the last resort for me but if it comes down to it, do it. If a heli-coil is installed correctly it will hold more than you need.

If you have a drill, why not just try drilling it out completely yourself? Just start off small and work your way up in bit size. Be sure to use cutting lube though.

Another helpful tip.

Try using a hammer and a punch. And try to angle the punch against the bolt that way as you hit the punch it will turn the bolt.

Automotive machine shops are usually pretty fair on bolt extraction prices. Take it to a smaller shop, as they're more likely to do it.

I don't even mess with broken bolts in turbos anymore.

Yes you need to take it to a machine shop or you can take it to a mechanic he will help you to unscrew the bolts and get you rid of this issue .
