i pushed the hex-drive brush into a m10 blind hole and wanted to twist it out to clean the thread as i have done hundreds if times. it broke where the two wires join and they now portrude by 1/2" (or less). hole is overhead on a car.
it could not be pulled out, as the wires are now expanded. i grabbed the wires with channel locks and tried to twist the brush out. it didnt move. i twisted the wires in the screw-in direction, hopinng they would collapse again, but it was impossible to pull the brush out with human force.
- grab the wires and use some pulling contraption?
- weld them together, so they dont expand and hope brush comes out the regular way?
- twist them together and then weld? (no idea if its possible.)
any thoughts before i break or melt them off?
