Get a left-hand drill and some easy-outs... and wear safety glasses!

Gotta ask, why left hand drill bits?

Because drilling with right-hand drills just drives the broken bold in deeper... Using a left-hand drill helps the broken bolt un-thread... you might as well give yourself every advantage you can!

Low/high speed grinding sound

That’s a good point. Would it hurt if the bolt fell into the frame rail though? Because tightening the bolt it was loose but loosing the bolt it had a lot of resistance. Maybe if I use right hand bit it’ll just drive the bolt into the frame and drop in there? I’m not sure if there are any drains or anything in the frame rail, that’s why I ask. Don’t need drains getting plugged and rusting the frame rail… I will probably get left hand drill bits to be honest, but it’s an idea.
