This is where a tool collection comes in; if you have a good gas torch
(butane is fine) plus a full set of taps, dies, drills, and tap
extractors (like LH threaded taps) you can get stuck into this sort of
job and just do it like a professional shop would. It is sad but
apparently true that if you go about this sort of job with enough
confidence and brute force you seem to end up breaking and replacing
less.
