[QUOTE="RaisedByWolves, post: 479804, member: 22989"] A dremel and some small carbide burrs will be the key to getting the busted bolts out. You might get lucky and get them out with a drill, but if their corroded badly youll have to drill first, then shell out the bolt down to the threads, then pick them out. That will save your threads and you just need to clean the holes up with a tap and youre GTG. Tried to link to just the post with the pertinent info but I couldnt. This one fought me to the very end, but I got it out without damaging any more threads. https://tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=43933&p=442367#p442367 [/QUOTE]
