Who makes the best kit out there? Ill be pulling my motor in a couple months to do some clean-up and removing 3 manifold bolts from the heads. All three are broken off below the surface so Ill need something good. Oh the joys of buying a used vehicle and not knowing what has been done to it

 

I have good luck with craftsman extractors. I think many people run in to problems when then don't drill a big enough hole in the bolt they're trying to extract.

 

You got a MIG or TIG welder? or a friend that has one?
worked liked a charm for me the last 4 times i had that problem

 

I've got several different kinds Cody. Got My favorite ones from Matco but I think another company actually makes them, lemme see if I can find you a link.

 

left handed diamond drill bit

 

Here ya go.... I've got the big master set they have too but I use these more often


SE100 25 PIECE SCREW EXTRACTOR SET | Matco Tools

 

The Alden ProGrabbit extractors are the only ones I have used and have broken two of them. BTW... once they break off in the bolt you are trying to extract, you cannot redrill it. The material they are made from is very hard.

 

I ended up ordering these last night
Great deal on Irwin / Hanson / Vise Grip 11119 at ToolTopia.com
I liked it because it comes with the left hand bits and an organizer. I'll probably end up buying some of the square head style extractors as I've read those work better than the spiral type. I don't have access to a welder so that's a no go. One of those is on my wish list for next year though.

 

I have that set, they work very well.

 

Fastest way I've done it is with mig, you wont believe how easy it is.
