add a broken bolt to my list


I broke a bolt in the intake manifold, I've already tried the bolt extractor kit and broke that in the bolt. I was able to drill out a little more to try it again but I cant make any progress with it. Does anybody know another way to get this thing out? Or should I just jb weld it together?

I've tried but it wont let me upload it. --EDIT--Its in the head where the intake bolts on--Its the (if you are at the hood looking to the trunk) the first bolt on the passenger side. Its the one thats right next to where the coolant flows. With the intake off I have easy access I ordered the Prograbit, one of my only ideas left.

i HATE breaking bolts. Well you could drill it and then tap a new hole. But its kind of risky because how close you are to the coolant and if the aluminum is fatigued to much, i highly doubt that though. If you do tap new threads in make sure you oil it white you do. Personally id get its called tap magic, i use it all the time on lathes and it works awesome, but really most kinds of oil will do the job. Or worst comes to worst you can take it to a machine shop. goodluck!

EDIT: make sure you use coarse thread if you do, well thats in my own opinion though.
