They make tap extractors depending on size and type of tap you have (had :) ) Yes it sucks, I feel your pain



And old nitor motor mounts make cool servo mounts..especally the ones with the cooling fins :D

I hate broken drill bits, and bolts, and taps... once I was replacing a lower control arm on a (full size) car, broke a mounting bolt, drilled it out, got an easy-out, then... broke the easy-out. I think the cloud of profanity I let loose is still hovering somewhere over southeast Portland...
