So I was replacing my hardtop brackets with the spec miata ones and the phillips screws with the red loctite snapped. I tried extracting them with a screw extractor but it just broke. Now I need to drill out the holes and retap them. From my understanding this is a pretty common problem so I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out. I don't own a tap/die set so I wanted to ask here before buying one. I live in the santa monica area(90025) and would be willing to compensate for gas and time. Im pretty broke so Im kinda stuck and I cant afford to hire a body shop to remove them. Does anyone have any advise on removing these suckers? Anyone know the size of the tap I would need also?
thanks again for any help I really appreciate it.
I did search my problem but I needed to post to ask for the help
I need my top back on asap so in the morning I might go buy the tap/die if no one has.
