Great Video Froudy, very informative & I'm sure it'll help lots of people.  I've made it a sticky.

No problem Froudy, it's not an option you can select, only Mods & Admin have access to that heading.

Good video but does he do one where the bolt has broken flush or above the surface? He's also a very lucky man when the studs come out so easily with the stud extractor.

I want to see him get a bolt out that has seized in the thread and broken flush but jagged with the surface. You know the one ... it's usually in the head of a 1402cc motorcycle and needs to be drilled and tapped because the stud extractor will break if you use it.

He does show that in a couple vids. Preferred method: weld a nut on it (with a nice super-glue cheat). And if you break an extractor he shows you how to get on with that.

Check out his playlist on "How to remove broken/damaged bolts".
