I need a machine shop in rosarito or primo tapia or near. I need to drill out steering knuckles to 7/8" and my drill bit broke. Its a bigger, not normal size for a hardware store, drill bit so a machine shop that could finish the job with a drill press or preferably a mill is preferred, but at this point I will take anything. HELP! I really don't want to drive up to tijuana for a five minute job.

if you haven't solved this issue.....there's an industrial supply that's never failed me. north end of benny juarez across the street from the Coppel, the one next to carls jr/auto zone. super nice folks, speak perfect english, they'll probably have the bit or know where to send you

Roger. I was recommended a shop in rosarito and they said yeah no problem and took it in the back. They brought me back a wobbled out lopsided hole almost an 1/8” bigger than I need. Not good for a high tolerance part. So...off to the junkyard I go to get a new part then I’ll try to get ahold of Leon or a new bit.
