So, I was replacing my intake the other day (more like a month ago). 2 bolts broke off in the process, luckily 1 was easy to remove. I was able to drill second one out, but as I was re-tapping the hole, the freaking tap snapped off, in a bad way. There was no material above the surface, in fact there are a few cm between the surface of the head and the top of the broken tap. I think my only option is to slowly drill away at the tap. I have gone through drill bit after drill bit with little to no improvement.
My question to the forum: any tips or tricks to remove a broken tap? Special/different drill bits? I heard small masonry bits may work. I have been using cobalt to try to cut through the hardened steel.
All this just to install a FiTech..... Better be worth it
