Take a worn out cut-off wheel (Small) and cut a slot in it....

Left hand drill bit. Use firm pressure and run it at a slower speed.

Use a left hand drill bit. Charley the local autoparts store usually sells them.

Good luck.

Russ,

People tend to use humor when they don't know the answer..

Thanks guys... So I take it while I am drilling the bit in, the screw will screw out?

I havent used a left hand drill bit but one would think that it should be chucked up tight and the drill ran in reverse, drill bit grabs and screw has no choice but to back out.

I did however use a regular drill bit and drilled into the screw or bolt and then put the drill in reverse and the screw backed out.

Good Luck!

I had thought about just screwing into the screw and backing it out.. Figured it sounded to logical to work.. I'll give it a shot..

Thanks,

Just turn the lower over and drill it with regular drill from the back side. This will twist it out. No need to go to the store.

Drill a small hole and use a easyout.

 

[user 115]

Ok, what's an easy out?

 

[RaceCraftBearings]

An easy out is a screw extractor sometimes with square heads and others with reverse flutes. You drill into the screw head with the appropriate drill size and then insert the extractor which should not bottom out before wedging itself to the screw then you wrench the screw out. Sears has them and your local hardware store.

Good Luck again!

Silver Solder a washer to the head of the screw.
