Wicked Fast,
If you take notice of the design of the tap you will see that there is room in the sides to fit a half moon on both sides. You can get an extractor which is designed for the size. Check Msc or j&l tool. Also you can try to slip 2 drill bits in those sides and carefully try to hold both drills with a vise grip and gently try to turn it out. Use 2 small pieces of flat steel to clamp the drills. If it is really wedged in there and you can take the piece off look up in local yellow pages under machine shops. Look for someone that
has an EDM machine. They can burn the tap out!!
If all else fails send it to me and I will burn it out as I have a few EDM machines in my shop.
No problem!! Just reread the post Cant send the frame!!!! The frame is hollow tube. You should be
able to extract it with the other method!
