Re: [SilverStreak] (Fwd) Help re Removing toilet platform

[<waymark1@xxxxxxxx>]

If you ever have to extract (unscrew) a broken off stud or screw that 
doesn't stick out so you can grab it with an external stud remover (or 
Vise-Grip), drill the screw with a left hand drill bit. It may unscrew 
the broken off screw without having to use an extractor (Easy-Out). Even 
if it doesn't remove the broken off screw, at least it won't be further 
tightening it and may loosen it partially so it is easier to extract with 
less risk of breaking the extractor.
Left hand drill bits are available from many hardware stores, auto parts 
and tool suppliers. I got a nice looking set at Harbor Freight in Spokane 
for about the cost of one LH bit from a hardware store.

I went out today to purchase supplies and bought fasteners in a close or 
barely larger size to replace those removed. (Few required cutoff; most 
of those near to toilet):
