OK ... this should be simple enough.... thats what I thought...


My Husband has one of those metal reclining chairs with the ottoman in
the living room...

One of the bolts broke off that holds the back to the arm...

We got a bolt extractor which has now broken off...

I though maybe if I cut that off and drilled the hole back out I could
thread a jewlers saw blade through and cut the bolt in quarters and
then pry them out.... but I'm not sure I could drill through that
extractor.

Any Ideas folks??

thanks in advance......

1. Use a smaller-diameter carbide masonery bit to drill a pilot hole in the
extractor.

2. Use a sheetmetal screw to unscrew the extractor.

3. Use a new extractor to remove the bolt.

If you do get the bolt out without damaging the thread, you might want
to replace the bolt with a high tensile bolt to reduce the chance of the
failure occuring again.
