- I have had this on my Honda's too. The last thing you would like is to drill them out indead. Allthough I *have* done this. Did you use vice grips to try to turn the screws? Penetration oil? Blue wr

- If you didn't use too big a bit to drill out the screw, you should be able to use and tool called an easy-out to remove it. This is a tungsten carbide bit sort of thing that threads into the whole y

- What are you trying to unscrew? I have run into this problem many time, so many in fact that I usually don't even try to drill them out any more. What you will probably have to do is over size the ho

- Two mistakes I'e seen people make when using Easy-Out type extractors: 1) They drill all the way through the broken screw/bolt/stud. The extractor needs something to bottom against after it takes a b

- This particular problem (headlight bucket screws) is common - I found the most efficient way to get them, and any others where you have plenty of space is a good soaking in liquid wrench and a 30" sc
