Left-handed drill bit, and, before you laugh, they do exist. They drill in
counter-clockwise rotation, unlike regular bits that drill clockwise.
Sometimes when you are drilling out a busted stud with one of these goobers
the stud comes right out with the bit. Bob

Bought a polished stainless bolt set from Greg, and began wrenching
today. Five hours later, covered in anti-seize, I had to stop. It became
addicting.

Anyway, while attempting to remove the small upper bolt on the right
front crashbar, it snapped off. What do you guys suggest for removing
the headless bolt from the frame? I left it alone for now, and kept
going on the other stuff. Pissed me off, drank beer...
