broken case drain bolt - HELP!!!

[Knarf0486]

hey guys, i snapped one of the bolts on the right crankcase cover, right below the two oil lines. the head is completely snapped off and the bolt is set in about 1/8 of an inch. was thinking abou trying an easy-out to get it out. any ideas. thanks

You could take the case cover off, then use pilers to back it out. If you dont want to do all of that, then I woud try a reverse bit of easy out. I dont know how wel it will work on a bolt that small. I would probaby just remove the the cover.

that happened to me. luckily it was when installing my new clutch kit and i hadnt added oil yet... but try just a small flathead screwdriver ot get it out, i took my case off but ended up the bolt would have turned out with a finger.... let me know how u mak out

thanks for the help guys i ended up getting it out without using the easy out just by fiddling with it with a small screwdriver. a real pain in the *** though cause i went out and bought the easy out just so it could snap inside the bolt, when the entire time all i had to do was use the screwdriver. its ok though as long as i got it out.
