Top Notch Restorations topnotch@nycap.rr.com 71 Squareback 65 Notchback "El Baja Rojo" 65 Squareback "Eggcrate" 87 golf "Winterat" 93 RX7 "Redstur" Today I had to remove a snapped off bolt from a body section I was installing on the Crate, I thought of the easy out but I got a set of those "Screw removers" From Craftsman last year (Not necessarily a fan of craftsman tools) They are to remove stripped Phillips heads screws by biting into them as you reverse them out with a drill. I drilled a hole in the middle of the bolt so give the bit something to bite into and then heated the whole thing red hot, as soon as it was dark I got the bit into it quickly and pressed hard while reversing it out with the drill... Out it came! This might be something to try with those stuck bleeders since they already have a hole in them and if it doesn't work at least you don't have a broken off easy out sticking out of your bleeder.
