[QUOTE="OldMachinist, post: 54046, member: 437"] Like others said removing a broken bolt is a art. Left handed drills are the best way if the bolt isn't siezed. Use penitrating oil and a little heat on the shaft to expand it some. If a little bit of the bolt is sticking out you can weld a nut on the end and turn it out. The heat from the welding tends to loosen it some too. If the shaft can be put in a lathe or mill it can be drilled out with the right size tap drill and then use a dental pick to pull out the remainder of the threads. Easy outs are my last choice. If you break one off in the bolt you need to find someone with a tap burner to get it out. [/QUOTE]
