don't think you can! what would be the purpose of a reverse bit, easy outs twist backwards I do know that good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Reverse bits are designed just for this purpose. As you drill into it, it tends to loosen the bad part, rather than tighten. Often, drilling with a reverse bit will actually allow the screw in question to back out as you drill. https://www.amazon.com/Neiko-10037A-Titaniu...erse+drill+bits However, I doubt that one would work on a coupler cone screw that might still have the self-locking stuff in the threads. |
