i bought one of the bendy magnets to stick in the hole and fish out the metal lol...ive been looking though, and i dont even find punch that go to 9/16" in diameter
I start with (what I will call) your typical size punch (a little bigger then a pen), then use a 7/16 punch. From here, it needs to be enlarged a little more. I use a 3/8 deep tapered socket. Sorry, I do not recall the size. This will roll/open the hole enough to get the tap to bite. Pack the tap good with heavy grease.
