Message	The hardest part is keeping the bit straight and square to the hole. The hard thing about trying to drill out the broken drill is that the broken piece will also spin instead of being cut. Sometimes you can pull the broken piece out with a strong magnet. There are also sockets that you pound on to the rounded bolt to try and get it out. -Dan VTC Solenoid Caps and install instructions.
