Broken tap removal

I've removed broken off exhaust manifold bolts by welding a nut to them. Maybe this technique would work with a broken tap.

A broken tap would certainly test someone's religion. That and a broken drill in a hole are not the things you want in the middle of an activity.

The old nut welding trick has saved many a person, including myself. Back when I was just trying to get mine running this was the result of trying to change out the thermostat.
