This guy.... :rolleyes:


Yea...I figured it'd either be there forever, or burn off in a quick fashion.
We'll see....

The same paint is on my smoker, and it REGULARLY see's 500*F, during cleanings.
The paint Can says its rated for 1100*F, or something like that.
Got any experience with "VHT" brand, Paul? :dunno:

Dont bother dicking around with bits.

Take a nut that is jsut smaller than the bolt hole and hold it over it with a pair of vice grips. Stick your welder in the hole and let it rip untill the weld is flush with the nut. Let it sit for a minute and use a socket to pull it out.


Works everytime i have tried it. 5-6 times. And even worked when the broken bolt/stud was over 1/4 in in the hole. Only takes a couple seconds to do as well.

Yah if u can get it to burn in, this works great as it heats up the bolt very well.

I never used this method but every pro swears by it and in theory it should work.
The heat and cool breaks it lose and the welded nut should let you spin it easy.:thumbup:
 
I had a set of steel headers I sandblasted, then gave two coats of VHT "flame proof" paint. 3 years later it was still on there with only some mild discoloration at the collector where some mud splashed on em and baked on. Other than that...I had great results. :dunno:

Maybe the sandblasting made the difference?
 
And, the bolt shank is like 1/2" into the hole.
So, no "weld a nut on" business.
Otherwise I would have done that.
 
if it's that deep... pick a bit that's just undersized to the threads... use the threads as a guide for the bit.... once drilled, run a tap down in, back it out every 1/2 turn or so, to cut the remaining metal from the threads.. follow with a thread chaser..
