Default i f**cked up big!!

I was trying to get to my spark plugs and so i was taking the air intake off and i got a couple bolts off and i put them aside. Then one of my friends walks in and he was in a rush to see my car and check it out for the first time. So then i put the bolts on really quick and i accidently put the wrong bolt in the wrong hole and the head of the bolt snapped off and now the screw is stuck in the intake (metal part) and none of the screw is sticking out. What should i do?? I hear there is a special tool for getting this kind of thing done. If there can someone tell me what its called and how to get a hold of it? Thanks

take a drill with a very sharp tip...drill a hole straight through the middle of the screw. imake suer the drill bit is just big enuff to fit...and then jut pull the threads out with pliars once the screw has been drilled thru.

you need to be very careful when doing this. The bolt will be quite hard and unless it broke off pretty flat, its going to be hard to get a drill started going in straight. It will want to slip off the side and get into the aluminum of the manifold. Once you do that it becomes nearly impossible to get the broken bolt out.


Take your time, make sure you have a good sharp drill bit and stop if you think your messing it up.

I ALWAYS use a very hard and pointy punch to make a dimple in the place where I want to drill. That way the drill bit won't wonder off course.

You may want to drill a pilot hole, then go up a couple of sizes with the second drill.

I've never tried this but I see no reason why it wouldn’t work., a conventional right-handed drill could screw the broken stud or screw further in. If you ground the shank off a high speed steel drill and re sharpened the now new cutting end and put the drill in reverse to drill the stud out, you may find the stud would start to unscrew on its own. I know you can buy left-handed HSS drills but its probably more convenient to make one.
