I posted last week about asking how to remove a broken bolt. Since it was going to cost a $400 total to have it transported to the shop and back and for the shops fee, I decided to spend the money learning how to remove the bolt myself, and I practiced on several bolts in a vise.
I drilled out the broken water pump bolt, hit it with MAP for 5 min, melted wax in it, I placed the tap but so far not able to get the bolt to move. My question is, How much can I torque that tap without breaking it and will the MAP make the tap brittle if I torch it again just prior to torquing it again?? Robert N.
