Torque and Chrome

how to remove a broken bolt?

The head broke off a bolt on my jeep. I tried to use an extractor to get the stud out but cant get enough torque to remove it, and cant find a small enough 8 pt. socket to use impact wrench on it. I drilled through the stud and there is barely any of it left but i cant get the last part of the stud out. Any idea how I can remove the remaining part of the stud?? thanks

1. hmm you tried an extracor already have you tried using a mallet or hammer to bang the extractor in to get it going? ive never had an extractor fail me try using a hammer drill?
2. flat head screwdriver? depending on how strong and if its safe as no to break anything.... hammer it onto the face of the sheared nut to put a groove in it, or cut/scratch a groove on it. not high tech, but im old school lol
3. use a revers threaded drill bit and kroil. usually does the job for me.
4. go to auto parts store an get a easy out. they will know what your talking about.
