Hello,

A crash protector snaped off my motorbike(basicaly a big bolt)

Now the probelm is some absolute muppet tried to get it out by drilling a hole in the remaining stud and using a stud extractor/easy out.

Thing is all was going well until said muppet was distracted by an amzing amount of someone elses stupidity whilst doing said job.

And the extractor snaped I cant drill into that as its hard as nails

Any ideas?

Thats what I thought But it is stuck Thats why the easy out snapped.

Was merrily turning away thinking the bolt was coming out while talking to someone else (which I normaly wouldnt do but they got me mad ) and the easy out snapped.

Also I cant get at it to tap it round with a punch etc. as its recest inside the frame

Basicaly Its F****D and I'm severly annoyed at my own stupiduty. Removed load of things like this at work and when I do it on my own bike I F**K it up
