Snapped Bolt

[kylemiller]

Hello guys,

I was changing my seals on my gq that has gu diffs and snapped the bolt in the flange knuckle that holds the spindle bolts on because I was silly and didn't torque it to the right nm. What's the best way to get this snapped bolt out? as I'm limited with tools or is it better just getting one locally from someone wreaking?

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Hello and welcome to the forum, can you pop over to the intro and say hello first before asking questions .
No harm done just polite and all.
An ezy-out set is not very expensive, only good if you can get a drill to the broken part.
Lots of CRC or WD40. Heat is good as well, you might be able to use a pin punch gently.
Post up a pic and take it from there.

Took a bit of time, but it worked for me - I cut a slot across the shank of the bolt using a dremel and then unscrewed it using a screw driver - was fitted with loctite, so a firmish fit. Alternately i have used the tip of a dremel with the xmas tree shape to work around the edge of the screw and chase it out backwards - vibration and the biting in of the tip works well, but only if there is no loctite involved.
