You might want to try some left handed drill bits. They can broken bolt 
removal easier.

Subject: I hate breaking bolts! 8-( Oil pan


Ok so I get my 3A and 9A off the truck this afternoon.  9A in basement to 
put on engine stand for tinkering. 3A I decide to pull the Audi Oil pan off 
to let it bleed out...( it was still leaking fluids from where he had 
recently pulled it)....
Broke 3 frecking oil pan bolts off! 8-( I hate old stuff.  Hey wait a minute 
I'm old stuff. 8-)

Lifted them off the truck and moved them around myself BTW. I know my back 
is gonna pay for the manly man stuff. LOL
Anyway does anyone have a surefire or good method for getting those little 
boogers out of there?  I was thinking blow torch to heat it up alittle then 
easyouts. (I hate them)

I sprayed them good with WD40, but I remember someone on here talking about 
the wonders of something else????

I figured I'd soak them in Kroil before I seriously wrestle with them again. 
I've got other stuff to do right now instead of messing around with these 
blocks.

cheers
David
