i have a Red Baron factory aluminum frame and i cased a jump which broke off the brake arm pivot bolt. i tried to use heat + an EZ out and the EZ out broke off inside the broken bolt. this sucks!

damn man thaat sucks, drill out the easy out, and get a craftmans easy out, lifetime warranty, good luck i hope it works, i broke a torque arm on a trans am, and the bolt broke off in the rear end, it took 6 hours of messing with it with an easy out, finally my friend got under the lift, and twisted it out by FINGERS, we know call him mighty fingers!, i hope its that easy!, good luck man

i gave up on it and handed it over to a friend. he's working on it and i've got my fingers crossed he can make something happen

center punch center punch...

you have to start drilling in the center of the bolt.. start off with a smaller drill bit and go bigger..

also use a propane torch to heat up the area around it when using the ez-out..

with broken off bolts you have to take your time and do it right the first time..

i tried the center punch with no luck. i used a propane touch to heat the area but it still failed me

weld a bolt to it and back it out

believe it or not....tried that. that's why in the pic it looks grinded down. i'm telling you, i tried everything within my power to get that bish out.

that sucks! nothing worse than trying to fix something and making it worse, sorry. This just happened on my billetware frame on the bracket that attaches the motor to the frame. Start with the small drill, and step it up on the drill size like 3 times until I break the drill bit off in the hole (f**k). I was lucky and was able to punch it out although I broke off the nut that was welded into the unaccessible little pocket in the frame... now I have 1 long through bolt. Good luck and have patience.

latest from my friend is that drilled it out with a press and now have to helicoil it.
