What happens here
Position the GripEdge Internal Broken Bolt Extractor into the center of the broken-off flush bolt. Using a hammer or soft-faced mallet, firmly drive the internal extractor into the bolt. The extractor's internal splines will cut into the bolt material, creating a strong, secure engagement. Attach a ratchet to the hex end of the internal extractor. Due to its bi-directional design, you can both loosen and tighten the broken bolt, which helps in breaking any rust or corrosion that may be present. Proceed to loosen the bolt until it is free and extracted.
Goal: Securely engage the broken bolt and loosen it from its position.
