Removing Broken Screws With an Extractor?

Broken screws are incredibly frustrating to remove, especially when it's just the screw head that's broken off. Fortunately, screw extractors make this process as clean and simple as possible. A screw extractor kit should include a number of different bits. Start with one of the two smallest bits to make a pilot hole, then tap an extractor bit into the pilot hole with a hammer until it's firmly in place. Using a pair of pliers, continue pushing down on the extractor bit but begin to turn it counter-clockwise. The broken screw should, with a little effort, begin to slide out.

How do you remove a broken bolt?

Search for "stud extractor". Looks like a drill bit but the cutters are left hand thread, designed to be used with the drill in reverse. The lid of the box or the extractor should be marked to indicate a) the screw size they are designed to extract b) the drill bit size you use to drill a hole for the extractor. Before you start apply some penetrating oil. 1) Select the correct extractor for the bolt size. 2) Use a punch to make a dimple in the centre of the snapped shaft. 3) Drill a pilot hole a few mm deep with a drill. 4) Put the drill in reverse with the extractor in it. 5) Put the extractor in the hole and go for it. 6) If that doesn't work buy "freeze and release" spray and use as instructed then repeat 5).

If your asking, about the head being stripped, then you take a hack saw blade and cut a new slot in it,this way you can use a slotted screw driver to remove it.

How do you remove a rounded caliper mounting bolt on a 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24?

Are you sure it rounded? Most of these bolts use an Allen Wrench so the outside of your bolt should be round but the inside should accept the L-shaped 6-sided tool. If the inside of the bolt is rounded from using the wrong size allen), then this is another problem to solve. Take a rotary cut-off tool with a thin wheal. Grind a slot in the bolt head. Try to use use large a slotted screw driver to turn the bolt. If this will not work, try drilling a hole in the bolt and use and "easy-out" or screw extractor (buy from a hardware store).
