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. Al -- thetansedan@aol.com wrote: ...
