Default Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

It helps if you can get area hot before trying to extract the bolt as the aluminium expands more than the steel of the bolt and slackens its grip on the thread a bit.

As Bibio says if you can safely get a cutting disc in there and cut a slot, worth a try. I have used extractors before but always get the aluminium hot.
