bassface Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Eazy outs work pretty good. If that doesnt work you may need to just drill them out and retap the threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockFord_Expedition Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) My computer has this awesome thingy on it called a Google. I typed in "how to remove a broken bolt", and here are just a couple of things that came up. http://www.brokenbolt.com/ http://www.lowes.com...Id=10051&rpp=16 (there are many on there, some cheap and some not) Dont forget to get the replacement bolts while you're out.

Zapanater Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 If they're big enough bolts, use a small chisel and a tap hammer to turn them out. Heating them up can help too.

bassface Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I would probably spray wd-40 on it and let it sit for awhile before try to remove it, just in case rust was seizing it up. And if you were going to try heat, dont heat up the bolt but the surrounding area around the bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
