Broken trem arm in block....simple removal?

[Soul Man]

Hey lads and lassies,
Is there such thing as a simple way to remove a broken trem arm from a block on a strat? I know of the Grabit removers but wondered if there was another way with something like this that has such a small diameter.

Thanks!

Dremel tool with thin metal cutting wheel. Cut a groove in the end of the stub just big enough to accommodate a screw driver or screw bit and twist it out. If the stub is too tight and that doesn't work, order a new block from Callaham.

I should have mentioned that the arm is busted off down inside the block, LOL.

If it's too deep in the block to get at with an EZ Out, I'd just get a new block.

Left hand drill bit. Use a transfer punch to dimple the center of the remaining trem arm before drilling.

lol that sucks. I've killed at least one block trying to drill out a broken arm with just basic drill bits.

It's on a Strat I just bought used. I don't ever use the trem anyway but I happened to look down at it and saw that the end was busted off deep in there. LOL.
