Get thee a set of left-hand twist drill bits for this job. The torque
and heat from drilling has backed out stuck bolts for me in this
situation. Worst case, you still have a hole, so you're no worse off
than with a right-hand drill bit.

But yeah, keep it straight. Make a guide to help with that, maybe?

See the threads here on PB Blaster, Kroil, etc, for the *next* time. g

anti-seize is made for this, isn't it? You know, the grey "jumping
grease" that gets on _everything_?
