Most of that went over my head, but sounds like an arse ache!

They used a drill to remove a bolt that had rounded off and couldn't be removed with a shifter or pliers so they drilled it out. Sometimes doing that can strip the female thread and make the hole useless because it won't hold the bolt anymore BUT they succeeded.
