Re: [Chrysler300] Broken Exhaust Manifold Bolt

[Marshall Larson <yelof@xxxx>]

Here's two more methods you can try. 1. Cut a slot across the bolt with
a die grinder and use a screw driver to remove it. The slot can extend
to the head material as long as it is minimal. 2. Get a set of reverse
rotation drill bits. The set is usually three or four sizes which
correspond to extractor sizes and are available from many sources
including Eastwood Co. To use them, drill with slow RPM so that the bit
will catch in the hole you are making for the extractor. When everything
works right, the bolt will back right out of the hole. Personally, I
prefer to drill a small pilot hole first to allow the bit to catch the
bolt more easily. If the bolt doesn't come out stuck to the bit, use the
extractor in the hole you have created.
