What would you do....
 

If you were removing the last bolt off your pinion housing to split it from the carrier and the top-half of the bolt snapped off. I can't drill into it....Guess I need to take it to a shop? Any other recomendations? :td:

A machine shop could extract it for pretty cheap im sure.

pissed me off, everything else came off without a hitch....it's always the last freaking bolt :sad:

Open a beer.

is the bolt on the top or bottom of the housing?

get a picture. then i give you ideas.

what size bolt is that? M10?

My friend and I were fixing a latch on my HT. All 3 bolts stripped, squaring them for use with a socket = more stripped, BFscrewdriver = another one stripped, drilling them out = broken bit, extractor set=broke off extractor inside.

Carbide bit= got 1 out, made enough room to cross thread another bolt in, and make a small hole in the HT.

I feel you.
total time close to 10 hours

booze + hammer + you = stress relief

Pitlab I couldn't get the latches off of my hardtop either, one came off just fine and I stipped all the bolts on the the other side, pissed me off. It's still like that haha.

Some fucker at my work got 9K back, well he dose have 5 kids

Yes, I know this one mutherfukker that has 10k in the bizank!

that is one rusty turd!

Grind off the top to make a smooth surface, then drill that fuckstick out.

We all have different methods, and every situation seems to be different...

I'd suggest the mig/tig and bigger nut approach, but I'm lazy...

can you not see my pathedic drill hole....none of my bits would drill though the bolt material (I assume Grade 8 or 10)


if i had a welder I'd try that.
