    Shit, I’m tired when I get off work. I’ll get around to it one of these days.

    I'm not sure you are going to have a lot of success removing the bolt. I sheared one off, then knocked it up into the body trying to remove it. I dont remember it taking a lot of force for this to happen, but it was 3 or so years ago so I can't really recall.

    What was your method in trying to remove it?

    IIRC it went up into the body when I hit it with a center punch, so if you are going to try to use an extractor I would forgo using a punch if possible, and use a good drill bit with minimal pressure.

    I figured that’s what you were going to say caused it.

    Will probably start with a very small bit and go progressively bigger.
