I broke a bolt on a motor mount today at work. We were slow so I decided to make a quick video on it. I would like to add that having a punch that has been ground to a point makes this much much easier. Also, I would like to add that this doesn't work every time. This is just something to try before you start pulling out the big tools like a drill and a tap and die set.

Good job. Looked like a nice and loose bit of the bolt, any ideas for the stubborn ones.

Maybe I should post the YouTube discriptions with them as well. This is only something to try before you bust out the tap and die set. If this doesn't work try drilling into it with a drill bit that cuts while rotating left. Then I would use a tap and die set

Good idea to post the youtube description here as well, that's easy.
I've had to "extract" a few bolts UNDER the car... sway bar bushing bolts (I overtightened). I "simply" drilled them out, though it's a HUGE pain.
