Default Need some help folks.

I was hopeing someone on here had a tap & die(sp?) set that i could borrow. It would need to be on the smaller side, as the screw i'm trying to get out is not cooporating.


Oh, if someone has a good idea on how to get it out without ruining the threads i'm all ears. The head broke off so there is only the screw shaft left. It was wedged in there pretty good and the treads still biting are probably 3-6, The diamenter of the shaft is 1/16th--1/8th. I tried useing some JBweld to reattatch the head so i could back out the screw, but that was a no go. Don't know if soldering would do any good either. Can't use one of those bits to back out screw/bolts out of their holes cause this is to small. Only thing o can think of is to drill it out and rethread a larger hole.
