While putting in my new oil pan with my welded bung one bolt in the front right corner broke and is stuck in the block. I put in oil in my motor today and it leaks only in that one spot. How can I take that out so I can put in a new bolt?

Thanks for any inquiries.

EDIT: Wrong forum, can a mod please move this to tech section for me.

probably going to have to drill it out, or hope you can turn it out with visegrips or something and retap it.
sounds pretty sucky.

Yea I cant grab it with vicegrips since none of it is sticking out.

use a really small bit to drill into the center, then use a left hand bit to pull it out. Problem solved.

pray to god, get a screw extractor, if that doesn't work do what Tim said.

this shit sucks man. that happend to my last block. you will probley have to re tap as those bolts are so small it makes extremely hard to extract them. PITA man, those bolts dont have to be tightend very hard, just snug them good and your fine, I tighten those things now like their made of hollow glass cus I hate re taping a block, I like having things stay how they were from factory. and just like 4wheel said, If the extractor snaps your f-ed
