Drilled Door Hinge Bolts - Is There a Quick Fix

[Sam_Finlay]

Gave up trying to undo 5 of the hinge bolts on the passenger door of my salon this afternoon after pickling in release oil followed by impact screw driver & socket then hammer and chisel without showing any sign of movement.

My question now is does anyone know of a quick fix to the problem I have left myself with. ( Sorry that door WAS coming off this afternoon )

I have assumed that I'll have to buy a set of BSF / BSC taps - drill the rest of the threads out and remake / clean up the threads but is there another option.

I had the same problem with two of mine,drilled the heads off to get the door off,that left just enough stud to allow heat with a blow lamp(One of the type that has a pencil point flame)and got them out with a pair of pipe grips(Stilson).

Great - now that everything else is off that is well worth a try. - Thanks
