RE: Help!!!
if you dont already have it I would suggest a shop manual and a good torque wrench, brute strength isnt always the answer . take it from the guy who broke a 24 inch pipe wrench in half while standing on a ladder the end result isnt pretty . lol

RE: Help!!!
Glad you were able to get it out of there; I've had good and bad luck with that sort of thing. I was going to suggest reverse-fluted drill bits (honest!). You run your drill in reverse, and if you're lucky, it will provide enough "grab" to spin the broken bolt back out. I think you can get them at a machinist/toolmaker supply shop or catalog.
Maybe you should lay off the Wheaties before attempting any fine repairs, yeah?

Yea Lefthanded Drill bits, not many folks have them or are willing to pay the price, to have them sitting around "just in case" ,, but they are handy and I have had this work a time or two.
