What a pain. There is a broken off bolt where the passenger seat bolts, right rear. I broke it, tried to drill it, drill walked and drilled about 20% of the bolt... mind you I'm a machinist with access to tools most people don't, makes it funnier.

Flash forward to today. Dremel, carbide burr, I'm going to get that thing out.

Vibration triggered my carpel tunnel problem in my right wrist, dremel overheated and started smoking, it always had a problem but today it decided to be tempermental. Screw is still in there beside the large hole I created.

So I tried a riv nut, it wouldn't sit flat enough to bite.

It is the little things! If it gets any worse I'm removing the carpet and torching it out.

Determined to remove the bolt fragment that some reason is MUCH harder than a normal grade 8 bolt. It is dulling the carbide quickly. If I slice it with a cutoff wheel I put another scar in the floor pan.

This is the result of trying that very large 1/2 20V impact I bought from Matco. It pulled all the rest!

Just venting more than anything I'll get it. Off to buy a dremel.
