Snapped a bolt on the ktms oil filter cover (Indian bolts) you can get on it but not to grip it , who had this happend to? Engine like bolts ? And what's best way of getting it out I'm thinking a left drill bit slowly should pull it out
Is there enough to get a stud extractor on it?

Don't think so it's pretty flush with the engine casing

Bought a new pair of gloves , decided they didn't go with any of my bikes , so I went and bought a 15 plate duke 390 with 2.5k on the clocks

Good quality metal drill, small pilot hole, then bigger hole followed by reverse thread bolt extractor should do the trick.
Get someone to tig a bolt or Allen key on it

what i was planning to try , i did want to center punch it but its an aluminium thread and i dont wanna bugger it up
If the break is flat you should be ok. If not careful grinding may be in order.
You should be ok centre punching.
Out of interest, how did it happen? You didn't use an electric ratchet did you?
Thinking about putting a left drill bit in my Dremel to do it , took it off and did it up barely more than hand tight and the head came off , the bolts on this thing are terrible
5 replies and you go back to what you were going to do in the first place.

yep..... every time
It's a small hole , where the break is I can't grind it and I wouldn't feel comfortable welding on something that small , pilot hole and reverse extractors is the only option , only problem is it's not flat so I'm hoping I can hold it steady enough with my Dremel

I have drilled exhaust studs out before, but you need a steady hand and nice sharp drills to core the stud without damaging the thread in the hole
I'll be attempting it in the week , watch out for the how to change engine casings thread...
Centre punch it first to centralise the drill
well my new automatic punch has arrived! , did something stupid and decided to ride it over to the garage with one bolt out , that was a mistake , covered both my dad and my neighbor in hot oil.......... didnt expected it to come out like a pressure washer...
That'll be oil pressure love

The irony is I'm a qualified mechanic...
Well I got it out , punched it , drilled it , then used an extractor , annoying thing is my dam mother in her infinite wisdom decided to shout at me (I look after my elderly mother) and it came off and has nicked the inside of the cylinder hopefully it is not enough to cause a leak
Result 🙂
Good old Dremel , just hope it still seals flush , won't know untill I can get new bolts
This is a great thread on how to make a James Hunt of things.
Did a bloody good job , considering how small it is

Does this thread link nicely with your engine oil thread "I've got engine oil all over the road"?
in a round about way...
