Bolt Snapped

[tr3nt]

Hi guys, uhm.. I was putting an exhaust on my partners car, as I was removing the right hand side bolt on the exhaust to cat flange, the head of the bolt snapped...

Anyone know a way to get this fixed?

moved out o the pub.

Can you just drill it out? if it goes into a threaded hole just drill it out and put a nut on the end of a longer bolt.

very possible... sorry about the lack of posting in the right section and thanks for the move..

it's very possible to get the nut/bolt idea happening... anything else?

easy outs.., drilling the bolt all the way through will be hard as ***, watched a mate go at one for nearly an hour, broke the drill bit in there too

weld a nut onto it then you can just use a spanner

with a reasonable drill bit it wont take long at all. Even a lower end Irwin type will kill it. Had to drill out a heap of bolts in garage i just re-erected and used two bits for probably about 50 bolts.
Did the car in the vl the same way - grind them off at either end then drill them out. easy.

yeh drillin should do it. just remeber to do it on a low speed, coz when the drill bit gets hot it blunts and bends easy. just a tip!
