I was changing the oil of my 400ex and I broke the drain bolt, its back on, all I broke was the head of the bolt so now the rest of the bolt is stuck in there!!! :mad:

I cant, i was just putting it back on and that thing broke, you can see at the top of the bolt that is twisted so maybe it gut stuck or something .

Sears has a nice set of easy outs with matching drill bits. Very handy to have when something like this happens. Not that expensive either...;)
