Default Big problem need help!!

Ok so I get my new mini apes, I'm all excited I have new cables and everything I need so i start on the clutch side, remove the bars, disconnect the clutch loosen it up all the way, take off the primary cover unhook the old clutch and then unscrew it from the primary....so far no issues...I take the new extended clutch hook it up and then procede to screw it in to the Primary...halfway in it breaks.....the threaded part breaks so I have a little threaded stump and the rest is stuck in the primary....now what do I do?

How hard was it to screw in? If it wasn't too hard, try an easy-out.

If the easyest way to get the stud out is to cut the cable call the place where you got it and tell them what happened before you cut the cable. Maybe they'll be cool enough to exchange it afterwards.
