**Title:** Removing Broken Bolts/Studs Deep in Holes
**Challenge:** Extracting broken bolts/studs from deep holes without damaging surrounding (softer) material (e.g., aluminum).
**Techniques Demonstrated:**
1. **Shock the bolt**: Use a spring-loaded punch or traditional punch with a club hammer.
2. **Apply heat** (cautiously) and/or **penetrating oil**.
3. **Left-handed drill bit**: Drill into the bolt to extract it, minimizing damage to internal threads.
4. **Hinge sighting drill** (optional): Ensure drilling dead-center into the bolt.
5. **Screw extractor**: Use after creating a pilot hole, if the above methods fail.
**Best Practices:**
* Use appropriate drill bits (e.g., cobalt for tough materials).
* Apply cutting paste for smoother drilling.
* Avoid damaging surrounding material.
* Coat new bolts with copper grease or anti-seize compound before installation.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text, each numbered and in short sentences:
1. **Material comparison**: The surrounding material (aluminium) is softer than the bolt (steel).
2. **Initial removal steps**: Before removing a broken bolt, try to shock it with gentle taps using a spring-loaded punch or a traditional punch with a club hammer.
3. **Heat application**: Applying heat can help, but be cautious not to melt the surrounding material (e.g., aluminium).
4. **Penetrant use**: Using a penetrating fluid can help loosen the broken bolt.
5. **Specialized drill**: A hinge sighting drill can be used to prevent drill bits from catching the side of the material.
6. **Left-handed drill bit purpose**: A left-handed drill bit is used to extract broken bolts by biting into the material in a way that facilitates removal.
7. **Socket head bolt modification**: Drilling a hole through the center of a socket head bolt can create a tool for screwing into damaged or broken bolt threads.
8. **Screw extractor use**: A screw extractor can be used to remove damaged bolts, especially in deep holes.
9. **Cobalt drill bit advantage**: Cobalt drill bits are preferred for drilling through tough materials (like bolts) to avoid damaging surrounding softer materials (like aluminium).
10. **Drilling precaution**: When drilling into a bolt, avoid going too deep to prevent damaging the surrounding material.
11. **Thread protection**: Applying copper grease or anti-seize compound to threads before reinserting bolts can prevent future seizing or snapping.
