sheared bolts

Can someone tell me what the tool is that you can use to remove the
threaded part of a bolt after you've sheared the head off. I need one
so I can put the doors back on my Jago Geep.

If you sheared them because they were seized, then you need a drill and
a tap. Usually you have to drill it one size bigger and use the tap to
put in new threads. If you are good with a drill, you can drill it one
size smaller and try to peel out the seized parts.

For bolts that were snapped because you cranked too tight putting them
on, you can drill them one size smaller and use a tool called an 'easy
out' for one brand name or 'bolt extractor'.

This tool won't work on seized ones though. It will just snap and then
you have to try and get a carbon steel core out of the bolt hole. That
can be a really nasty job.
