Find a machinist that has a right-angle drill adaptor-this is a small gearbox that puts a second drill chuck at 90 degrees to the drill motor for times like this. I have one that I have used many times for broken studs like these.

+AD4- From: nilsh+AEA-microsoft.com +AD4- +AD4- I've got an '85 Vanagon and +ACo-both+ACo- alternator bracket bolts have broken off. +AD4- Clearly the previous owner over tightened them when replacing the bracket. +AD4- +AD4- Given the difficulty accessing that area, does anyone have any ideas for getting in there and drilling 'em out. One thought was drilling a 1/4+ACI- hole in the body to pass a drill extender through... +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- help+ACE- +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- - N i l s +AD4- +AD4- +AD4- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ +AD4- ONElist members are using Shared Files in great ways+ACE- +AD4- http://www.onelist.com +AD4- Are you?
