"And as Smitty says, USE LEFT HAND drill bits!

That way when the drill snags the bolt, it will unscrew and not hit the cam
gear!"


I really appreciate all the advice on drilling. My concern about this now,
is that the bolts did not snap off smooth, they have jagged ends. I would be
attempting this with a hand drill. How in the world do I keep the bit
centered and straight? The bolts are broken off just a couple of threads
down in, so not much space for a pilot tube.
