Hi Folks.
CX thanks for the replies. So the removal of the stud did not go that well. The bright side is that the hole is straight, but now my choices are a 17/64 th bit or an 8mm bit? I am going to re-tap the hole with a flat bottom tap. I have light cutting oil, and I am going to turn it less than a 1/4 turn, applying cutting oil. I am not sure if with the 17/64 that it leaves more aluminum or what. Again thank you all in advance, for your help.

Chad
