i was changing my oil filter and the long bolt with the thread on the end broke off inside the hole....... im really pissed off cause i had somewhere to go on the 400ex tommarrow and now i cant go. To get the rest of the bolt out all i will need is an Easy Out tool from sears right? :grr :grr :grr :grr :grr :grr

how deep in the hole is the broke end of the bolt. as long as you can drill a hole in it you should be able to use the easy out set.

eazy out is the best way to do that good luck sorry u hissed riding
I noticed on mine, the threads on long bolt had corroded and it was hard to get out. I put never sieze on the threads, that took care of it.
