A left handed drill bit should remove that without issue since it wasn't rusted in place just over torqued. But like others have said you need to hone you bolt torquing skills, think about how much torque a bolt of that size should be able to take, I bet you think it's less than you were applying at the time. I'm not trying to be condecending in any way because I have done the same thing before, but you need to develop a feel for how much you should torque bolts of different sizes because sometimes torque specs are Wrong in things like chitons and haynes manuals,sometimes you must trust your instincts not what anything says

My torque wrench is a piece of crap. I've done 5 rebuilds and I make sure I slowly turn to wait for the click. I doubted it already as soon as it got it in my hand. Somehow, I gave it the benefit of the doubt.
Anyways, it's out. I just wanted to vent. I've buttoned up the engine now and I need a break. Have to wait for more parts to come.
This did it.
Thanks guys for all your help.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

yes. this sucks but should be an easy repair by taking off the pan and using vise grips on the stud as mentioned above.
by the way this thread sounds, you are blaming the tool. even if the tool sucks, you are to blame for breaking the bolt i am sorry to say.
good luck getting it out. hopefully it will be an easy taskOriginally posted by SmokeE30 View PostA left handed drill bit should remove that without issue since it wasn't rusted in place just over torqued.

Or you get an oil leak.
I used my 1/4 ratchet with a small handle and just went by feel the second time.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

I have a beam- style wrench I use for things like that... when I use a torque
wrench on things like that... which is very, very seldom.
tnow, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george graves
