bolt extraction

Post by kwalsh »

This weekend I over torqued a bolt and broke it. :x :x
The bolt is on my quad, a Honda 400EX. Now I have to drill it out.

This is going to be a challenge. The broken piece of bolt is about 5mm in diameter,
1cm in length and about 4 inches inside the engine block.

Can anybody provide some input on this?
Think I shoud open the wallet and pay a shop to do the extraction?
