Yeah........my first crack at this sort of situation.......when I got it out I felt like I split the atom!!

 

One thing to note is that that if it gets the job done, it's OK. The problem is when it is isn't.. . IMO there is 4 levels of screw removal, stud flush. There are other methods but IMO there are the most common for flush breakoffs.

1. easy, pin punch. 2. reverse drill 3. tapered easyout (yours). 4. Rigid / spline.

I've removed a few of those broken reverse spiral extractors. The problem with them is that they expand and lock the screw in place if the screw is stuck well, then with too much pressure, snap off.

 

You run into it enough this is what happens.

 

Ao then youve got 2 thinga to remove!!
What are those items in #4 and how would you use them?
I didn't need anything other then drill, reverse bit and extractor.

 

Not sure what yo mean by 2 things.

You use them the same as the tapered extractor. I sometimes drill the hole all the way through the bolt so you I get more bite if needed. It depends on how stuck the screw is.

Add:


Don't know which snap-on set the guy is referring to but the the set I show above is pretty much the same..

 

I think he is referring to when a tapered extractor breaks off then it and the screw has to be removed.

LOL your kinda stealing his thunder so to speak.
The man had some success at something he's never done before and you keep telling him your better way to do it Sir

It's due to a traumatic experience with broken tapered easy-outs.. I've had a few but none done by me.. Only the repair.. The last one was a broken easy-out in a CRF450R swing arm, the chain side tensioner. It took about 2 hours to get it out and make the repair. Broke one carbide drill bit, and wore out 2 small cylindrical grinding stones..

 

Ya know.......the guy says its the BEST kit he's ever used .......
BUT DOESNT GIVE THE @%#&% NAME!!!
I watched it twice.......did I miss it??

 

That's exactly what I meant!
It was actually fun in a strange way.......
Maybe not so much if it was a critical motor part though.
