 How to cuss up - broken bolt gearbox cover
#5
You need to get a small drill bit, about half the size of the bolt to start. Take your time and drill a hole as close to the center of the bolt as possible. Then get a bolt extractor. That is all the dealer or any other repair shop will do. If you have to start off with a smaller bit and work your way bigger that is fine. The main thing is you need to drill the hole in the bolt without getting in to the metal around it. Or just get 3 new bolts and leave that one the way it is, there is nothing to leak, so it will probably be fine. Your choice. Good luck.
Also I am certain that he has learned a lesson in torque specs, just sayin...
