I was not very surprised to hear that a stainless steel bolt broke off. Did you use anti-seize when installing the bolt? Stainless is very susceptible to galling. You can drill the bolt out yourself and install a heli-coil but be careful as to not break the tap, those are much more difficult to remove.
After building a machine a work with several hundred thousand stainless steel bolts I will never put one in without anti-sieze. Steven |
