HELP!!!!! I am restoring my 1971 914 and I have been working on the rear trailing arms... I was able to get 3 of the 6attachment bolts out without breaking them, but there were three more that broke off...So my question is what is the best way to get these broken bolts out???... I am really trying to get this back to a rolling chasis before the snow flies....so ANY one who has done this please pontificate on the manner I can get these broken bolts out????
Any help would be greatly appreciated 914 Rhatt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) |

Go to a decent hardware store and buy several cobalt drill bits.
The bolts are hardened steel...they will kill most bits. I started with an 1/8 inch bit and several brass bushings nested together to keep the bit centered. Start with the 1/8 inch bit and work up to the bit just shy of the threads..I forget what it is.. Then tap the threads out. Rich |
