Re: remove snapped off bolt
In my early flathead years in the late 80's old local guys told me to heat the broken stud to molten, blast it out with oxygen and the threads would be perfectly good for the next bolt. Seemed so against what I'd gleaned from backyard metalurgy that I never tried it.....All I could think of was cracked iron castings from the localized heat... but????
