can you get a dremel in there a cut a notch in whats left of the bolt? if you can get deep enough you can use a flat head screw driver or a flat head socket on a socket wrench to "unscrew" it

One of my friends broke a bolt in a brake caliper or something , they had to weld a smaller one to it and then they took it out
Maybe that could work

I did that last year. If it is one of the two bolts where you can see the boss on the front of the head you can slot it with a dremmel and just screw it out. Mine took about 10 minutes after removing the supercharger unit.

Thanks for all the help guys, after letting the liquid wrench set in overnight I took everything off (heat shield, fusebox, etc.) I was going to tap a dent on the bolt to start the drill. I figured I would try to use the pick and hammer and hit it counterclockwise for the hell of it. It budged!!!! So it's all out and put back together.


Thanks for the help guys!

Any one know where I can get ALL replacement bolts for the mounting of the S/C in a stronger class?

I usually have good luck finding bolts at NAPA.
