Question Throttle body bolt broken, now what?

Hi guys,

I have a 93 rx-7 and when I was tighting one of the throttle body bolts it snap off clean with the edge of the t.b.

So my question is, can I fix this or do I have to buy a new throttle body?

Thanks for any help

Use an extractor kit or just drill it out:

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Did you snap just the bolt to where it's flush with the TB or did you snap off part of the TB too? Wasn't sure what you mean't by "snap off clean with the edge of the TB". If it's just the bolt then here's a thread with a place to get a new bolt. As far as getting it out, if enough of the broken stud is sticking out then use a pair of pliers and just screw it back out.
