I twisted off one of the bolts that holds the brake pin housing on my riding mower. It’s a Peerless Tecumseh with the manual disk brake lever/pin and the little 1/4-20 bolts are turned directly into the aluminum housing. There’s about an inch sticking out.
I can’t get enough of a grip on it to turn it out. I’ve soaked it in Kroil for a week but my vice grips just twist on the shaft. I tried jamming two nuts and turning it off with a wrench but it stripped the threads.
I‘m starting to think I just need to cut it off flush and use a LH drill bit. Any ideas?
