How do you attach a Bosch (SDS bit) to a wedge bolt to spin it to create a shoulder to pull it out? The only threaded SDS attachments I've been able to find are taps.
Thanks

Contact Gregger Man here on MP.com and he can give you the 411.

He suggests reaming out the 3/8" coupler nut to 1/2". I found an sds-3/8" adapter and just had to tap 24 tpi threads into one end of the coupler nut for it to fit. Either way should work. Here's one of the adapter tools.
