someone (pb blaster?) has come out with a penetrating oil that supposedly puts the "freeze" on the metal- super chilling it to free up some tolerance

 

Oh, yeah, forgot about the PB blaster incident on my wedding night...well, maybe I did learn something that could be useful to this thread.

 

man im telling you a machine shop probably wouldnt charge you more than $15 to extract that ****. The them its just a matter of putting it under a drill press and then running a tap through it. Wouldnt take much time at all and would end up being cheaper than some **** *** craftsman bolt extractors. Trust me on this, you break one of those hardened steel extractors off in there, which will happen, and you'll be worse off than you started.
