drilling problem

Oct 28th, 2002, 02:14 PM

I've been trying to drill holes in the back control arm for a sway bar for hours and I'm stuck. I've made a small hole through, but the bigger drill bits won't go past halfway. I've tried three different kinds and I think they've been blunted. If anyone has gone through this or has any suggestions it would much appreciated!

Anyway, buy some new drill bits, if you are drilling for extended periods of time spray some WD/40 onto the bit as your drilling to cool it off.

try a "unibit" you can get them at most parts stores. it fits in any drill . it starts out a small hole then increases in size as it rips tthrough anything. i use them all the time drilling in frames of vehicles. and they dont dull easily

THanks Wes, I bought a new bit and used Wd40 as I drilled and the bit didn't dull.
