Ideas for removing broken brass nut in Head

Mind you it would have been safer if you could have found some mild steel square stock instread of a square file.

File metal is quite brittle and can't take much twist torque, as I know to my cost. :(

Perhaps your file had a virus!

The only improvement to your method would would be to use a TRX-Spline bit.

Yes they make great extractors because you can really bo****ks them in with a lump hammer, they sort of broach their own mating splines, far more effective even than the proper tapered square fluted stud extractors.

As large hammers seem to have featured in this thread, must share this with you. Wondered how it was done.
