HELP!!!!

[camok10]

ok i broke the themostat bolt off on my 89 k5 w/350 and i heated it up and tryed easy outing it and that didnt work. so i tryed drilling it to tap it for a new bolt and the drill bit broke. so if the bit extractor dosent work to get the bit out today what should i try next

[just one more]

hammer and a punch or solid carbide drillbit, possibly a left handed bit?
but if you break off the carbide you are fubar, after that E.D.M. is only choice

try welding a nut to the end of the bolt, that will do 2 things 1. heat the bolt and loosen corosion, 2. give you a way to run the bolt. you just gotta get good penitration into the bolt.

therers not enough left for the welding a bolt, i allredy thought about that.  and we had it glowing with the torches too befor the drill bit broke.

i may try and find a carbide one to drill it out with

also we tryed air hammering the part that was still above the manifold and it didnt even budge

and thanks for your 2 cents guys

That might be your best option if the carbide doesn't work.
