Broken eyebolt

Did the screw eye break when you were trying to remove it? If it's not stuck in the threads some people heat up a flat head screwdriver really hot and press it firmly into the remaining stubb and let it cool. Now you may be able to remove the screw using the scredriver.

Thanks for the tips, unfortunately I was not there when the eyebolt broke off. The heated screwdriver sounds like a great idea. I'll try it this weekend, and post results.

Thanks again, the heated screwdriver trick worked like a charm. The only thing to remember is to cool down the screwdriver tip before attempting to remove the screw. Just dip the screwdriver tip in the pool.
