I like to use the 'heat wrench'...

Often, if you can get a bolt red hot, when it cools back down it *may* be easier to get out, as the 'bond' that was in place may be destroyed.

If your bolt broke below the surface.. Cant hurt to try heating it, but you still have to get the bit out somehow..

Bolt snapped off in turbo (B5 A4). Never had much success with easy-outs. Are there better brands? - |skolnick 2014-07-17 14:25:03 (191 views)
