Hello guys I need your assistance regarding "tapping out a bolt"

I broke off a bolt in a place so I bought a drill bit to screw through it and basically what happened now is I screwed through it and I have a smaller hole inside the shell of the stripped bolt. So how exactly does this resolve my problem? I don't understand the point of "tapping out a screw"... I just have a new hole which isn't the right size that I need. Wtf do I do to get this bolt out?

Now you need an EZ out. That hole you drilled is too small for an EZ out big enough to get the bolt out.
>>
do you understand what a tap is? because thats not tapping a bolt

also get some fucking lubricant before you start drilling into metal with anything

fuck sakes

what is it then

i need the bolt out
>>
>>16662524
im not helping you until you provide proof that you have some sort of drilling lubricant, either stick or liquid form
>>
>>16662537
I have automotive grease or synthetic silicone lubricant. will that work?
>>
>>16662397
youre supposed to drill slightly larger than the bolt and tap new threads into it

Nigger really, you put this through the hole to remove screw.
How are you so dumb? Why not use Google instead of coming here
>>

So you're saying get a screw the same size as the bolt?
>>
>>16662596
slightly larger cause you have to get through the old threads and the closer the hole is to the size of the tap, the easier it will be to create the new threads
>>
>>16662397
Based on your question I presume you don't have the tools or skills to simply weld a nut onto it.

Well that's what you should do.
>>
>>16662636
cool thanks. yeah i just have a very very thin layer of the bolt left as a shell in there so i guess ill just go one size up. am i really supposed to be using lubricant?
>>

1)get a set of hardened left hand drill bits and a set of extractor bits
2)drill the bolt out with the left hand bits
3)use the extractors the same way, jam it in there and you should be able to back that bitch out without having to fuck with the threads
