Well I apparently overtightened the bolt for the thermostat pulley thing and it snapped off leaving the majority of the bolt in the threads. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I had planned on just carefully drilling it out but that was before i realized that's is a PITA to get to with a drill.. Any tips or anything would help..

If it broke off below the head it's not in there tight so a regular drill bit will screw it right into the case. You need to get a set of left hand drill bits.
Oh and next time keep the gorilla away from the engine. |
