fork drain screw bolt sheared

<< < (2/14) > >>

LesterPiglet:
Try a left handed drill bit if you can find one.

MikeM:
cant get my head round this why use a left hand drill bit

ken are you saying if I drill it will purely tighten the bolt and possibly ruin the case of fork?

LesterPiglet:
A left handed drill bit will try to unscrew the bolt while you drill, obviously you will need to use a reversable drill as well.

MikeM:
my drill is cheap n cheerful, one way only, I do know the bolt is not seized

LesterPiglet:
Put a fine drill down it and screw in a self tapper.
Or tap it around with a fine punch.
Hit it with an impact driver with a slotted bit on it.
