Removing a bolt can be aggravating. You may have
damaged the slots on the head of the bolt during the removal process. It is
common if the fastener is rusted in place or if you use the incorrect-sized
tool. A few skids of the screwdriver or wrench and the head of the bolt can be
so damaged that getting a good grip on it becomes nearly impossible. The screw
extractor, a clever little accessory, comes to your rescue. Bolt extractor is
available in various sizes to accommodate various screw diameters.
An extractor:
- An
extractor is a shaft made of high-strength steel with a square head on one
end and reverses tapered cutting screw threads on the other. The square
head is held in place by a T-handle, which is used to turn the extractor.
You can also use locking pliers to grip and turn the tool's head.
- These
are designed to as counterclockwise into the head of the screw or bolt
after a pilot hole has been drilled. The end is sharply tapered, allowing
the extractor to dig deeper and tighter into the damaged screw as it is
turned. Turning the extractor counterclockwise digs deeper and deeper into
the damaged screw as it backs out.
If you need precision metalworking tools, you can
find Royal products helpful.
Drill a pilot hole:
Ø Before using an extractor to remove a bolt, drill a pilot hole into the
center of the damaged screw with a power drill and an appropriate size twist
bit. If the damaged screw's head is rough or uneven, starting with a very small
pilot hole. Before drilling, apply a drop or two of motor or cutting oil to the
damaged screw; this will maintain the drill bit from overheating.
Then, using the extractor bit, drill a larger hole. Its diameter changes depending on the size of the extractor you're using. Follow the instructions provided in the extractor's package
Extract action:
Ø Using locking pliers, secure the extractor bit. Insert the extractor bit
into the damaged screw's pilot hole.
Ø Tap the bolt extractor firmly into the pilot hole with
a hammer. To remove the damaged screw, press down on the extractor while
turning it counterclockwise.
Ø If the extractor skids and loses its bite in the screw, tap it again to
get a better seat in the pilot hole. As you turn the extractor
counterclockwise, press down more firmly. If that doesn't work, slightly
enlarge the pilot hole and try again.
