I've stripped a bolt in my outboard, so I've got a set of srew extractors. How are you supposed to use them? <br /> <br />I drilled the hold into it as per size on the extractor. Now what do I do? Do I first hammer it into it and then unwind it?
As a Machinist, I must say Extractors have their place. They are for removing broken bolts. They are NOT however, for removing CORRODED broken bolts. Thats a drill and tap job. Or like we all know, try it anyway, and make the guy with the EDM machine happy. Right tool, right job. No shortcuts!Originally posted by OBJ:<br />..extractors are a waist of time.
