**Title:** Removing Broken Bolts/Studs Deep in Holes
**Key Takeaways:**
1. **Preparation**:
* Shock the broken bolt with a spring-loaded punch or a traditional punch with a hammer.
* Apply heat (carefully to avoid damaging surrounding material) or spray penetrant to help loosen the bolt.
2. **Removal Techniques**:
* Use a **left-handed drill bit** with a hinge sighting drill to drill into the center of the bolt without damaging surrounding threads.
* Alternatively, use a **socket head bolt with a drilled hole** to guide a cobalt drill bit into the broken bolt.
* If the above methods don't work, use a **screw extractor** (with caution, as shown).
3. **Best Practices**:
* Avoid damaging surrounding material (e.g., aluminum) by not drilling too deep.
* Apply copper grease or anti-seize compound to bolts before reinstalling to prevent future seizing or snapping.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text, each with a number and in short sentences:
1. **Broken bolt scenario**: The video addresses removing broken bolts/studs deep within a hole.
2. **Material composition**: The surrounding material (aluminium) is softer than the bolt (steel).
3.. **Pre-removal steps**:
* Shocking the bolt with a spring-loaded punch or traditional punch can help free it.
* Applying heat (with caution to avoid damaging the surrounding material) can aid removal.
* Using spray penetrant can increase the chances of successful removal.
4. **Tool usage**:
* A hinge sighting drill can ensure drilling dead-center into the bolt.
* Left-handed drill bits can extract broken bolts without damaging surrounding threads.
5. **Custom tool mentioned**:
* Socket head bolts with a drilled hole through the center were created for this purpose.
6. **Screw extractor usage**:
* Applied after partially drilling into the bolt, if necessary.
* Success may depend on the quality of the screw extractor.
7. **Drilling precautions**:
* Use of cobalt drill bits for tough bolts.
* Avoid drilling too deep to prevent damaging the surrounding material (aluminium).
8. **Verification of success**:
* Successfully removed bolts without damaging threads.
* Demonstrated by easily screwing in a new bolt (M10, M12) after removal.
9. **Post-repair recommendation**:
* Applying copper grease or anti-seize compound to bolts before reassembly can prevent future seizing or snapping.
