The V8 Owners Forum -

I'm trying to remove some tiny self tappers from a box section - and they are well rusty. Some sheared off - even after being soaked in Plus Gas for several days. Got some of those where they'd left a stump out with mole grips - but a couple are flush with the box section, which I don't want to damage.

I do have small tungsten carbide drills for PCB use - but don't want to risk breaking them given their cost.

Any bright ideas? Arc welding nuts into them would be my favourite way - if they were larger.

Hi Dave

If you want to PM your address I can send you some 3mm drills to take the little buggers out.

cheers

I remembered I had some diamond coated assorted burrs for a Dremel (local market stuff and cheap) so decided to try them. The small ball ground down through the stump easily. So I'm happy.

Thanks for the offer, though.

Ok
You are welcome
