Another broken fastener removal method.

Post by Arne »

Well, I broke a cam retention collar off flush down in a little hole and the normal stuff (pliers, vice grip, file, chisel, left hand drill bit, impact screwdriver, easy out, grabber easy out, etc.) wouldn't work.

So I took it in to get a helicoil put in and the mechanic 'wouldn't touch it'. Of course that made me want to get it out by myself, and I did in about 5 minutes.

I stuck a hollow retention dowel down in the hole, welded the end of the stud to the retention dowel, and then just turned the dowel out.

I think I might have a new use for that box of roll pins I have laying around!

Hmmm. That's clever and it worked! There's nothing worse than extracting flush broken studs.

If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.
