Message: [QUOTE="CATDiezel, post: 1342379, member: 4387"] To drill them.properly there is a diamond tip drill bit that needs to be used. If it's a flush break. If it's jagged then a diamond plated debur bit must be used to get a somewhat flat surface. Then a spring loaded center punch to punch the center for a guide on the drill bit. I do believe someone has built a jig for this very procedure. Must use Google to find it. After drilling the initial hole use KROIL oil and soak the top of the bolt. After allowing it to set for some time clean the surface with a fast drying break or carb cleaner. Keep a squirt gun (like the kind used to wet hair near by) and use a small torch propane or butane to heat the area around the bolt hole. A snap on branded bolt extractor (square) should then be hammered lightly into the drilled hole and an extraction can be attempted then. Some are much easier than others. The bolt is a hardened steel and most jobber drill bits will struggle. Hence the diamond tip bit. I know you said you were not going to do it but maybe this might help whomever is going to attempt it for you if you don't yourself. Goodluck! [/QUOTE]
