Broken bolts in frame... how to remove?

[01bansheefox]

I have like 3 broken bolts in my frame so I might as well get them out, What is the best and cheapest way to remove them? Please list the items I need to buy and the sizes, Do i just get a drill bit 1 size smaller than the bolt or how does it work?

You will need to get some E-Z Outs and some drill bits. We have a set of E-Z Outs at work. The one we have has three different sizes in it, and each one will remove several different bolt sizes. You will need to center punch the bolts and drill them out, big enough to start the E-Z Out, then put a wrench on the end of the E-Z Out, and turn it counter clock-wise to remove the broken bolt.

Tools needed;

Center punch

E-Z Out(s)

Hammer

Drill bits and drill

Cresent wrench or box end, to fit the E-Z Out

Seems fairly easy, gonna head down to the store now to pick them up.

Before you try to remove the broken bolts with the E-Z Out, you might want to spray some "Panther Piss", WD-40, Liquid Wrench, etc, on the bolts. Might make things a little easier.

Depending on where the broken bolts are at i would try a left hand drill bit and see if it will 'oull it out. Have had good luck in the past using them. alot depends on how long it has been broke off and how much rust is around it.

Other way is if you have a mig welder around you, you can get a old nut and make sure the hole is same size as the broken bolt in there, and place it on top of it, and weld the nut all filled up, let it cool down completely until you can touch it. and then use a socket and remove it! viola!

I've had extremely good luck with left handed drill bits

Well when i bought the banshee off ebay the guy lied about everything and the footpeg tried to be welded on the bolts are broken off in the frame. Both are already 1/2 drilled out but the bit broke.
