    I have several bolts snapped off inside the thread where there is no way of grinding them flat but I can't find a single thing on CZcams regarding this subject. I don't mean to sound like I know it all because I certainly don't but, it seems obvious to me to grind the bolt flat it at all possible what do I do when it's not possible is what I'm after. I purchased eight very good aluminium garden chairs that I am going to re-spray. When it came time to dismantle the chairs I found, missing, bent and broken bolts. The broken bolts are awkward enough to get to with a drill let alone anything else. The bolts are stainless steel and are as hard as heck to drill. Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

    So the tap bit will tell you which drill bit to use to pre-drill the hole before using the tap?

    Will it affect the operation of a machine if the bolt is broken inside? Once it is tighten inside it will not affect in any way?

    I broke one of the screws that hold the passenger headlight down on my 2004 Corolla. The screw was really rusty. I will try a screw extractor first, and this is Plan B.

    Every one of my screws is stripped - any good way to figure out the thread pitch on your tap when you dont have anything to go off of?

  • @kevdog541
    @kevdog541 Před 6 lety +8

    If the hole is stripped out could I use same size tap or do I need to drill it out and go larger?

    • @Barracuda65
      @Barracuda65 Před 5 lety

      You could still use the same size tap. You just need to drill it as close as possible without drilling too wide and stripping the already existing tap.

    Does that mean after drilling it out, tapping it to the very same threads as before?

      2CarPros thanks for clarifying that. I thought it is drilling out the old bolt and after that just cleaning the threads with the same tap.

      Yes, gloves are a good idea. Oil is a carcinogen. If oil and grease are on your skin, your body is absorbing some of it. And that makes your liver work harder, to deal with the oil and get it out of your body.
