Hi everyone, I was an idiot today and snapped one of the oil pan bolts on my 1994 ST. The bolt head sheared off at the pan leaving nothing to grab onto to remove the broken shank. Short of removing the whole pan and getting the bolt out that way, what would you guys recommend?

Doesn't necessarily have to be that kit, but a screw extractor will get the job done. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates. Even Socrates told us to use the search button!
