Full instructions and tools required below
Instructions:
- Tools required for the job. Suitable HSS drills bits, the extractors, a drill, a file, a centre punch, some penetrating oil, cutting oil, a small hammer (preferably made from softer brass) and a tool for turning the extractor.
- Choose the correct size extractor for the job. A rough rule is that extractor should be about 60 to 70% of the bolt to be extracted. If you need to remove a 10mm bolt you will need a 6 to 7mm extractor.
- If the bolt has broken at an angle it is best to file it down a flat a possible.
- With the bolt top as flat as possible get the centre punch and hammer and centre punch the very centre of the bolt. This is to give you a perfect start for your pilot hole.
- Using a small drill bit make the pilot hole. Best to start with a very small one like a 2mm. Once this drilled get your second drill bit for example a 4mm to increase the pilot hole size. When this is done repeat the process with a with a 6mm drill. This is slightly smaller than the extractor you going to use. A tip when drilling is to use some cutting oil to make the drilling easier.
- Then select the extractor you need, in this case it will be a 6.4mm and firmly drive into the bolt with your hammer.
- Drive the extractor in at least one and a half times the width of the bolt so in this case it will be 15mm.
- The ideal tool to use to turn the extractor is a tap handle from a tap and tie set. These have a push and pull action and will help keep even an force on the extractor with little or no lateral forces.
- Grip the tap handles with both hands and apply even pressure in anti clockwise direction to the extractor. The bolt will then start turning and job is done.
- If the extractor won't move the bolt it's more the likely defiantly seized in there. You will then have to apply some heat with oxygen acetylene torch. When heated up the bolt should then move very easily. Do this very quickly after the heat has been applied.
- If this still fails to move the bolt or you have broken the extractor in the bolt you will have no choice but to drill out completely and re-thread the bolt hole using a tap and die set.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What happens if I break the extractor in the bolt. Are these unbreakable and if so does the warranty cover them?
- All the extractors of every size will break at some point when excess pressure is applied for sure. They are designed to do his and so is quite normal. When they break thy will splinter and shatter making them quite easy to remove from the drilled hole with a pick. If you have heated and then broken the extractor then you will have no choice but to drill an re tap the thread. In answer to your question broken extractor bit are now covered under warranty as they are designed to do this.
- Why do I need to drill a pilot hole and what type of drill bits should I use?
- The pilot hole will act as a guide and also reduces the power needed to turn a large drill bit. It's much easier to drill several small holes than one large one. Most of these jobs will be done by hand either in situ or on a workbench so you will have to very carefull to drill strait and true, Definatly use a centre punch to find the center of the bolt so the smallest drill will have a seat and not jump about. The drill bis have to for metal and HHS are prferable. Hope this helps.
