So I F*Cked up!!!...please help
Today I thought it was nice enough to change my shift bushings to the eurethane ones i bought a while back so i am under the car for a while, getting a sh*tload of stuff done and I finish up on that arch shaped bushing and its all done, then i put another rubber nut where the shifter hits the linkages to tighten everything up and finally i move onto the circular bushing right at the end of the lower linkage on the tranny. I turn the bolt once and it snaps off just below the surface of there the bolt was. i CAN'T get at it with any vice grips or whatever and I need help, i heard I have to drill it out but I dunno how to properly, can anyone help me out, or do it for me? I can pay obviously but I need to get it done soon cuz i don't wanna drive the car with the chance that it drops and scrapes on the road......

that might work or u might need a tap extractor
you can get them at Crappy tire...
this thing is like a tapered shank with teeth
so u drill a hole deep enough so that the extractor goes in 3/4 of the depth and turn it counterclockwise.. this will cause the the teeth to bite and it should screw out!
should have instructions...
machinist might know what im talkin about or mechanics!

Good luck

normally you very very very lightly tap a drift into the bolt and then turn the drift.. that is normally the best way. Make sure when you drill it.. it does not touch the threads.. that is very important
