Hello guys, John Talley with Partzilla.com locked away in my own shop
in seclusion because of the corona virus, but I was going to show you a little
trick that I learned for extracting bolts that may be frozen and snapped off.
What I'm what I've done here is I've driven on a nut on the end of the
offending bolt, and what we're gonna do is weld on the inside of it and
hopefully that'll give me enough torque without shearing it off to get it to
release. So let's get it tacked in place and see if we can get it to back out of
there. Gonna be fun.
Alright guys, she is welded up in there. I'm gonna let it cool just a bit, make
sure it's set, and I'm gonna heat up this area with the torch and we'll see if we
can get this booger to back out of there. So after five attempts, the only thing we
were able to do is make it just a little bit shorter now. So here's what we're
gonna do: we're gonna center punch that guy, drill it out, and then use a
Time-Sert, because that's really the only option I have left at this point.
Certainly not giving up, but the battle plans have changed. So I've got the
initial pilot hole drilled, now we're gonna go through about two or three more
sizes up incrementally until we can get to the threads. And then we'll stop and
then wait for the Time-Sert because it has a very specific diameter drill bit
that you have to use, and I certainly don't want to guess and guess wrong.
Grabbing the next larger drill bit and work my way toward those threads. So
we're almost there, but as you can tell it's just a little off-center, you know
that started with the pilot hole. And that's almost impossible to do dead on.
But that actually works to my advantage because what I'll do is use the same
drill bit and just wallow it back and forth and take out that edge and at that
point, most of this material will be gone and I can just knock it in and then pull
out the rest. And that will expose just the threads.
Now let's see if we can get it to collapse in on itself using just a hammer and a chisel.
Several hours later, it is out. Now I just have to wait for the Time-Sert, re-drill
this, and get the new threads in there. Well here is our time-Sert. We're
trying to use a regular one instead of going to the big sert. And here is
one of the Time-Serts, but the question is, is that gonna be too big to go
inside there? And the answer is yes. Just barely. So here's what we're gonna do:
we're gonna time sert it in reverse, because we have to countersink it in
there. That's really our only choice so that's what I'm gonna go for. Well, she's
in.
My new dowel still fits in there. I think we're gonna be good to go. Alright guys,
it does work. It may be off a tick, but it'll have enough play in the
transmission housing to where I can get it bolted back up. Well there you have it.
That was a bit of a fight and my trick that I was going to show y'all it didn't
work, so we had to take it to the next level. Listen, I hope everybody stay safe
out there and hopefully this virus thing will come to an end here shortly and we
can get back to whatever you consider normal. Well until then, if you need any
parts for your machine while you're stuck at home, why don't you come see us
at Partzilla.com we will get you taken care of even though it may take a little
bit longer because of the shortage of people that we have to actually get
these packages out. But at any rate, it will make it to you. Listen we just want
to say thank you for shopping here with us at Partzilla, and we will see you in the next video.
Y'all stay safe out there, have a great day.
