Bonnet Screw Stuck In Bonnet

[jesus]

As above really, overtightened it and now it's snapped off and stuck in :dapprove:

Any ideas of what I can do other than get a new bonnet? It's not stuck out enough to get any grips on or anything.

Drill the centre out then use an easy out?

 

[Dan519]

never going to extract that IMO. Just drill and tap a new thread

What dan said Drill and tap

 

[jesus]

Would it be easy to get the same size hole/thread for a standard replacement screw?

 

[Dan519]

easy is relative. How good are you with a drill?

I've successfully drilled things before, but I wouldn't say I'm a master of drilling...

I drilled and tapped out my hub before now when a wheel bolt wouldn't come out and my wheels stayed on fine. In retarded with a drill and tap. Especially from college in mechanical engineering always had the tutor do it

Makes it sound a bit more promising! I'm a bit lazy though tbh so I'll probably take it somewhere. At least I know it's possible now though
