Broken bolt

[Larry D]

The only way I could get the one that broke on me out, was to soak it with PB for a couple days. Then, with the assistance of a helper to hold a propane torch on it, I grabbed it with a pair of vice grips and twisted back and forth until it broke loose. After that it was just a matter of keeping the bolt hot enough to be loose and releasing and re-gripping of the bolt with the vice grips until that little SOB finally came outta there.......


I still mad at that bolt !!!!!

Take your time, just keep the area around the bolt hot enough to spin the bolt with the vice grips to avoid overheating.

It's a task, but it can be done.

I have used my dremil to cut a slot into stud then remove it with a screwdriver.

I'd weld a nut onto it.

I'd weld a nut onto it.

and the heat may loosen it!
