Did you not do this with a drill jig, IE Jims tool? Those come w/ a supplied Drill bit.
anxiety skyrocketing haha
Kona, thanks for your tips. I have a few 5/16-18 taps (taper, bottoming, and plug).
Once I've drilled out using the 1/4 bit supplied w/ Jims jig, I run a taper tap? Will I need to back off after a few turns to break off any chips, or anything?
When you say grab w/ a pair of needlenose -- am I literally just pulling out, or do I need to "unthread" it by twisting?
edit: sorry for the questions. I've never had to extract a broken bolt, or use a tap
