Sheared off bolt head. - Nis01 - 02-10-2006
Well.. I managed to shear off the head of a 10mm bolt in the engine bay today. Does anybody have a drill and bolt extractor I could borrow sometime soon? Please let me know if you do. I've never attempted to extract a bolt before so any information or expertise would be welcome.

ehhh screw it, they put to many bolts on cars nowadays anyway.... Shouldnt be to bad, location of the bolt?

Its just a bolt on the fender lining... I was attempting to replace my hood dampers. The first one came off fine, the second just snapped... figures. :roll:

hood dampers? that car didn't have hood dampers when i last saw it! LOL, what've you done to it?
I like spiral-fluted extractors better, but I'm sure Dave has something good as well since he has a couple old-ish cars. I've gotten a whole lot of practice with screw extractors after I bought my '91 Honda...

LoL. They were a gift. I figured I'd throw them on and see if I like them.
I just couldn't resist the bling temptation. 8)
