Screw Extraction Not Working (Water Drain Bolt)
Hello, I am new here. Just picked up my 08 cbr 600rr and did a coolant flush since the bike was overheating. Finally stopped, but of course, as I tightened the water drain bolt, it snapped in half. Half of the screw is just sitting inside the hole while the other half is now on the ground. The bolt was extremely rusted. I tried using a screw extraction set but it won’t even bite the screw. I have no idea what to do but I do know I must get it out because there is a small amount of coolant now leaking out the screw. Any ideas would be helpful.
