During the course of this rebuild, I have encountered a number of twisted off screws, bolts, and the like.
Sometimes the answer is staring me right in the face. Other times, a little thought is needed. This one, was, since I don't have the proper tool, what do I have that I can use that will work?
If the bolt head is twisted off, OR, if I had to grind off the head to get said offending member apart, here is a quick, very workable solution.
Step number one is to drill a hole in the center of the bolt, as if using an "easy out". However, I have had some success with easy outs, but not always.
