Help! Screw broke off clean in lug

[omegagmt]

I was trying of the metal bracelet on my 005 and when I was taking it off the threaded part of the screw broke off clean and remained in the lug. How can I get it out?

Here's a pic of the lug.

You could have the part that broke off drilled out, or attach a piece of metal to the screw with some strong adhesive and screw the part out (this is assuming that there is no problem with the screw but it seems it has since you probably broke off the lug when you were unscrewing it during bracelet removal)

Drilling it out is an option, but you need a good setup and a hard bit.

Nasty place.... Drilling it out seems like the only option left to me

maybe with a super duper Dremel?

If you got the uber awesome stand, yes!

Drill it out, then go with extra large spring bars .....

I guess I'll go that route. The superglue was a fail. I'll go to Home Depot and find a small drill bit for my Dremel. Maybe an excuse to by a stand, but I don't have that model Dremel.

apply some oil on it, let it seep in, and work it work slowly

Just bought the small drill bit. I'll update you guys after my first attempt.

First attempt seems to be going well. Trying not to rush it. Trying to limit each attempt to 5 minutes. Trying to let the metals cool. Already ordered my springbars from Panatime.

May take about 10 attempts. Taking it real easy.

You'll get it .... just be patient and don't rush .. If you start getting frustrated, it's time for a break. Good luck!

I got thru!!! Had to switch to a smaller bit at the end and made it thru, then went back to the bit I started with.
Now just have to wait for the springbars.
