The invention involves the extraction process of a glow plug pencil (23) or a broken pencil (23) which is stuck in a cylinder head (13) housing (11) of a glow plug engine comprising a lower (19) and upper (17) part, so that the upper part (17) forms a shoulder (21) with the lower part (19), the pencil (23) being stuck in the lower part (19). The process is remarkable in that it includes a step (a) for drilling a bore in the pencil (23) according to the longitudinal direction of the latter which is performed with the use of a drill bit (1) comprising a drilling part (5) with flutes (7) and a shank (3) respectively having a diameter smaller and greater than the lower part diameter (19) of the housing (11) so that the shank (3) forms a shoulder (9) with the drilling part (5), and in that step a) for drilling the bore includes the drilling of the pencil (23) until the said shoulder (9) of the drill bit (1) is positioned to a stop against the shoulder (21) of the housing (11).

A weld-on damaged fastener removal device has a weld cup with a deep concave form, and a detachable handle attached to the weld cup. The weld cup has a base and sidewalls that define a hex-shaped outer surface for accommodating a drive tool for rotating the device. A circular hole extends through the base, and a cone-shaped protrusion surrounds the hole. In use, the weld cup is positioned with the hole in the base of the weld cup aligned with the fastener, and the cone-shaped protrusion protruding toward and engaging the exposed end of the fastener. The handle is used to position and hold the weld cup on the fastener while welding the device to the fastener around the perimeter of the hole. A wrench or pry bar can then be used to apply a rotating or pulling force to the weld cup to remove the damaged fastener.

A bit puller incorporates an inner element with a longitudinal axis and having a central shaft, a base with external threads and an engagement mechanism internal to the inner element adapted to engage a drill bit. An outer element is concentric with the inner element and has a foot portion for engaging a work piece. Internal threads in the outer element are adapted to engage the external threads of the base wherein rotation of the inner element with respect to the outer element withdraws the inner element along the longitudinal axis.

A foreign object removing socket adaptor includes a pusher, an adaptor, an external thread, an internal tread, and a stop. The pusher includes a drive head and a main shaft. The adaptor includes a tool body, a socket attachment body, and a main channel. The drive head and the main shaft are adjacently connected to each other. The external thread is laterally connected around the main shaft. The stop is radially connected around the main shaft, opposite of the drive head. The tool body and the socket attachment body are adjacently connected to each other. The main channel concentrically traverses through the tool body and the socket attachment body. The internal thread is laterally connected within the main channel. The main shaft is threadedly engaged with the main channel through the external thread and the internal thread.

A tool for facilitating removal of a broken exhaust manifold stud from a cylinder head. The tool includes an aperture receiving a nut element thereinto and a mounting aperture. The tool is configured so that when a protruding exhaust manifold stud in received in the mounting aperture, the nut can be positioned adjacent the broken exhaust manifold stud for welding the latter and the former together.
