    Filter Bolt

    I don't think it 6 or 7 lbs of torque for those bolts, I've tried that and my broke once also. I think it's more like 6 or 7 inch lbs. I'm not too sure thou. I just tried to find it on my computer but I can't seem to find it right now.

    Use an air cutter or some type of cutter and cut a line straight across the end, then use a flat head screwdriver to turn it out.

    If that doesnt work....ever heard of an EZ-out? I dont know if that would work because it is so tight but you could try it...
    it may of been tight when it broke but it wont be that tight now that the oil filter cover isnt there pushing on it... after it broke it lost probly all of the tension on the threads... congrats on getting that bad boy out of there
