The exhaust manifold bolt I’m trying to remove, and I was wondering what exact brand of drill bit. Do I get to drill through the broken bolt I’m going to get at Home Depot?

Hello,

When you get the drill bit you want to make sure it is made for drilling into metal. As for the brand there are few good choices, Dewalt or Milwaukee makes quality drill bit and can be found at Home Depot.

Here are couple of helpful videos on drill out bolts:

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
