Default Removing busted bolt

I noticed when i tried to take out my TCT for replacement, one of the bolts snapped and a small part of it is still sticking out, how would I go about removing this so I dont have to go through the headache of takin it to a shop?

yes, that is usually the weapon of choice.
hard part will be drilling the hole in the limited space.

Check this thread out: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...pic=473941&hl=

The OP of that thread broke a bolt in the same area, but for the VTEC solenoid.

The owner eventually soaked sprayed Liquid Wrench on onto the busted bolt, let it soak over night, then "use the pick and hammer and hit it counterclockwise" and got it loose. I guess the key is having patience, I hope the S is not your daily driver.

If enough of the bolt is sticking out, maybe you can get some vise grips on it and turn it out? Maybe if you need to you could use a dremel and make some flats on it.
