That sucks, if its any consolation my wrenching day didnt go very well either. Got the exhaust springs off and cant get the damn midpipe to separate from the headers so now I will drink a beer and take a nap.

Cobalt(sp?) bits...don't even bother with regular bits. Self tapping center punch is also a good thing to have, help start the bit.

the key is to be sure to go straight and easy, to keep the bit from bending/breaking.
though I understand you have a hard time going straight!

3/32 bits and use a drill press. 20 sec is all it takes to go clean through a brake caliper bolt.
