ABodyBetty's new baby comes home!!!

No worries!

Any hardware store should sell hardened bits, or Colbalt steel?... Even a good dremmel bit will get it out.

The heli coil will come with everything you need for install besides the tap. Depending on the depth of the hole I would assume you need a "Bottoming Tap" Those are the ones with the flat tip, It will cut threads to the bottom of the hole. Once drilled just insert the Helicoil with RED lock tight, Don't forget to clean the hole with starting fluid or cab cleaner or the locktight is useless.

Drill the hole as straight and square as you can get it, but don't worry if it's off a little bit, It's just an exhaust stud and you can open the hole in the manifold to fit the new stud if it's not completely straight.

If you were closer to me I'd lend ya a hand, But I'd have to charge you some of that pizza and Corona!!

Have a great night and good luck with the removal.


EDIT if you think about it, You need to drill the broken bolt nice and straight to use an EZ out, Why not just drill out the bolt? ONe more thing I like about Heli coils are when installed in Aluminum they INCREASE the strength of the threads, Also if you do F them up most time you can just go up a size in HeliColi and drill out the other side to match the larger stud or bolt.
