I broke a dang bolt off taking those hollow bolts out. It sheared off right at the thread. What's the easiest way to get it out?

try using an easyout. prolly wont come out with out several doses of pb plaster or other penatrating liquid.
good luck with it.

Good thing it is the hollow bolt :D . All you have to do is use and easy out and it will come right out. Been there done that. If you had a solid bolt in there you would have to drill and that can be a pain!

I solved this the easy way. I ordered reman heads. I'll let the rebuilder worry about the broken bolts.
I said I solved this the easy way, Not the cheap way! :D

Becareful with the easy out. Just went through the same hassle. I broke the easy out and ended up having to pull the head and drill anyway. Not expensive just a PIA :mad: :mad: . Good luck
