You mean bolt remove kit as in an 'easy-out'?

If so, you dont go putting that on a full speed drill, its a slow hand turn operation....

Didn't Just Cars get it fixed for you? What else have you tried? Will pliers not do the job?

and go slow so u dont slip and drill a hole in to your seat.

or i guess u can go to any mechnanics and ask them to rape u with a nice pretty over priced bill to remove it

If you've managed to drill a starting hole in the middle use the easy out and turn it by hand in a counter clock wise? direction to get the bolt out.

Don't you hate when this happens. DId this the other week due to a torque wrench that broke as I did something up. Unfortunately it was a high tensil screw and small so I couldn't get a starting hole going. In the end I just used a bigger drill and drilled it out and used a dye to cut a new thread. It worked thank god.

For christ sake don't put to much force on that easyout.
If you snap that thing off in the bolt then you are trully f***ked. You"ll never drill that out.
