broken bumper bolt! help!

[rtrocket59]

i have a bolt that is stuck in the frame where the bumper goes and it doesnt stick out so i cant grab it with anything. i drilled into it and used penetrating oil for probably a couple hours all together and maybe got a mm into the screw. anybody have any tips to make this process faster? thanks for the help

i know something kinda like this has happened to me and i bought a kit to remove broken like a reverse threaded kit or something? but if you really cant get it out. (i had this problem with a bolt on my side case) i brought it to my local shop and they removed the broken bolt and only charged me a couple bucks.

you will either need to buy the extractor kit and hope that works or drill it out and retap the threads. i would recomend to take it to a shop like 4wheels said. or just leave it broken and hold the bumper on with 3 bolts
