anyone good with easy out? i reallllly dont want to fuck up extracting these two bolts and they are in stupid ass spots to have to do this shit. i got 716 drill bit and it looks like im gonna need one size smaller for this. anyone think they can lend me a hand? a bolt snapped off inside my tripple clamp and another one snapped on my cylinder head.

 

a trick of the trade, take a die grinder and cut the existing bolt flush, normally when a bolt breaks off it isnt flush and will cause the drill bit to "walk"
if you cut it off flush you will have a smooth surface to cut into, also go out and buy yourself a spring loaded center punch, they are like 2 dollars, use it to create a center point for your drill bit to bite into.

also use a very small drill bit first, work your way up, its better to start small, use cutting oil and slow speed
also have a magnet handy, bolts and their shavings are magnetic, but the case isnt so you will pick up all the loose shavings with the magnet, and not lose them down into the engine

thats all I will tell ya, for as much as I cant stand ya, would rather you do it right the first time than screw up anymore

 

well both bolts arent accessable with a die grinder unfortunately. thanks for the info though i'll be sure to pick up one of those center punches.

 

next size smaller from that is 27/64, then "Z", and 13/32. and what wolfey said

 

how about a drimel???? think outside the box rick, there has got to be something that you can use to make the surface of the bolt flat

or maybe you can post a pic of these bolts to give me a better idea of what you are working with.
