it's on a garden table which I've had for over 10 years see pic if it's any helpDepends on the bolt, which one as some are hardened.
I need to drill it out and replace as legs stitch over then bolt up to itSaw or grind, then knock off?
yea I am going to have to buy a tap and die set just can't get any of my current drill bit to get into the metalYou wont drill it as it is martin, well if its the treaded stud part were talking about.
First you need to cut it off flush, get a punch or similar and get a punch mark in the centre of the screw shank, then go through once with a small drill then with the larger size drill.
If that is just screwed in you'll need to retap the hole for a new bolt aswell.
They will be plain bolts ,not hardened .
That's probably cast metal aswell so will break if you are not carefull.
nut that held it togetherJust to clarify something martin, was there a nut on that threaded shank which held the table top section on or was it a bolt that's has snapped.
