[QUOTE="DougRoost, post: 1178763, member: 23019"] Just be warned that if you also break the extractor you're probably going to have to take the fork leg to a machine shop since these bits are made of hardened (tool) steel. These are commonly called EZ-Outs and look a little like a fat drill bit. They have left hand threads, to as you tighten it, it sometimes backs the broken stud out. You can find them at tool stores as well as Home Depot and Lowes. I've had pretty bad luck with them since in my experience if the stud broke it's in their pretty tight and the EZ-Out either doesn't work or breaks off, too. The fact that you have a steel stud in an aluminum part means there's likely corrosion caused by the dissimilar metals, further tightening the bond. Given this, I would recommend heating the fork leg a bit before using the EZ-Out, though don't overdue it and hurt the fork internals. [/QUOTE]
