had a go at drilling the broken bolt out today, drilled it out to 8.5mm then tapped out to m10 x 1.5.
this is the original hole size but I dont want to drill further down than the bolt was as I dont know what under the blind hole.As the tap has a lead on it, the bolt doesnt go as far down as it did before so I'm thinking of cutting 6mm of thread off the end which will leave 1mm for pinch.
the thread screws in 8-9 turns, im thinking of just cutting the screw 6mm and trying it.
anyone know if theres a loctite/paste that will put up with the heat changes ?
