Hi all, a bit of information wanted please. I have just pulled a crank case off the shelf ready for a winter project, and I have found that one of the ¼ whit sump threads has a thread tap or a stud remover snapped just below the surface.
I am finding it hard to even tap a punch mark on the stud; I understand that the “stud” is of hardened steel, so my question is. Is there some sort of” super” drill bit that I can buy so I can drill it out. Or my second option is to drill and tap a new thread in front, or behind the offending sump thread.
Many thanks. S&P
