broken screw removal..?
 hello everyone. I was working on my wife's Jeep Grandcherokee, and the screw that holds the steering wheel tilt lever down is broken, half of it is inside the nut, obviously, i got a new screw, but it wont catch as long as the screw is inthere. any ideas, suggestions how to get it out..?

Not sure of the "size" of broken screw shaft, but I've had
luck using a reversible drill with a bit just less than the dia of the broken screw/bolt. Try to turn it out/left using very slight rpms and pressure... If it's decent size in od, a screw extractor is the next try, though I've had lil'success with them on small size screws/bolts. GL,mD

Get a set of broken screw removers. Drill hole for the size you need and reverse thread the remover in. It should extract the broken part. NAPA/ TrueValue /Sears should have what you need in stock.
