I've got a couple of very small self tappers which have broken off
flush with a blind housing made of thin mild steel - car bodywork.
Due to being rusted in place. What's the best way to remove them
with minimum damage to the bodywork?
Why do you need to remove them at all? Are there no other fixing points?
The 'if there are four screws two will do' syndrome? ;-)
Suppose they could be repositioned - but not until I'm certain they can't
be removed.
drill and use stud extractor maybe.
Personally I'd _angle grind_ (TM) flat and drill 'next door'
Or use CARBODYFILLER (TM)
Do I get extra points?
