Removing broken part from threaded ramrod

[BSK]

Unfortunately, this season I broke the threaded section of my T-handle off in my ramrod. Do you think a basic left-hand drill bit and broken screw remover back the broken threaded section out of the ramrod or will a need something special?

Left-handed drill bits are the way to go. Often when using them I never have to use the screw extractor because the drill bit will pull the broken screw out. The most important thing is to be in a rigid setup so that you stay centered in the broke off screw. If you get off center you will really mess up.

Also, first check to see if the broken threaded part is actually still loose, as it may be able to be fished around and unscrewed without having to use the drill.

Left hand drill bit will likely back it out.

If it's loose, I have back them out with a small straight screwdriver..
Once you move it enough too grab it with needle nose pliers… you're home free!

be careful. If you drill too fast the left hand drill bit will grab and break. Drill Slow and straight.

Was it brass?

Keep in mind that it's probably aluminum

You might be able to solder a screw onto the broken piece and then use a screw driver to remove it. Removed a bunch of broken screws using that method. Depends on how good you are at soldering and how much h is sticking up/out.

Yes.

If it's a CVA send warranty an email and they will mail you a new ramrod.
