Bolt broke off inside block! Please advise...
One of the four bolts that hold the turbo manifold to the block broke on my motor. None of the bolt is potruding (sp?) from the block, it's all inside the hole holding the bolt. I was advised to the using a bolt/screw extracter bit after using a smaller drill bit to drill inside the bolt, but it didn't work. I'm really frustrated and I have no idea how to get it out without taking it to a machine shop, which said they'd charge $75 to get it out. Should I just take it to the shop, or is there another way to get it out? I was also advised to "tap" it out, though I'm not very familiar with this method. I'm getting desperate, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully I'll wake up to some good advice, thanks in advance...
