3800 Snapped a bolt..

[SaturdaysGS]

I was removing one of my Monte Carlo/Impala radiator braces, and I snapped off one of the bolt heads. The damn thing wouldn't budge, I should have sprayed some PB blaster on it.

I have no experience what-so-ever in what I would have to do next to remedy this situation. Anyone able to help? preferably before Friday..

Thanks

cant you just drill it out slowly? or remove the brace (if it comes off) and use some vicegrips to turn the rest out?

I've never drilled out a bolt before.. thats one of my problems right there, next to that snapped off bolt head.

Use a small drill bit to drill a hole into the center of the bolt. Then use an EZ out bit to remove the bolt. If that doesnt work, then keep drilling it with progressively larger drill bits until the bolt is gone.
