wL<3bass Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 more than likely you will have to cut the head of the bolt off and drill the bolt out ( try to use a bit just smaller than the bolts diameter) and then run a tap through the hole to clean out and rethread the hole. It is a pain in the ass, trust me. I broke the head off a bolt the other day from over tightening a small bolt with a wrench that was way to big for a 10mm. bolt. Could not feel the tension due to the leverage, had to get a left threaded bolt remover (kinda like a tap , also known as a easy -out ) to pull it out. But in your case you have some threads still holding the bolt in , and if you can't pry it out you will have to drill it out and re-tap it. If you can pry it out, you should still probably run a tap through it to repair the threads. I would recommend using a loc tite on the bolt when you do put the new bolt in. Use the loc-tite that is semi-permanent so that you can remove the bolt again later if need be... good luck man.... Pretty much...
