DISC: Drilling out a bolt.

[Don Hoefer <hoefer@cary.eng.pko.dec.com>]

I am trying to drill out a 6 mm bolt that broke off.  I have tried
high speed drill bits and I have tried cobalt drill bits.  Nothing
works.  I feel like the drill is spinning the wrong way (yes, I
checked this) as I slowly polish the hole deeper.  The drill bits
still feel sharp.  I have tried 3-IN-ONE, Liquid Wrench, WD-40, and
water as cutting fluids and neither makes a difference.  Does anyone
know what I can do?

These bolts hold my splash shields on.  There was a discussion last
week or so about their usefulness, well my CV joint boot ripped and
is spewing grease all over.  The splash shield helps protect the
brakes from getting greasy.
