Snapped Bolt On My Throttle Body
#1
yea, so after installing some new ignition wires, i went to connect the intake pipe to my throttle body, and overtorqued the top right bolt. The bolt cracked in half and now about an inch of it is left connected to the throttle body. Can I get a machine shop to pull it out and put a new one in, or do i need to order another throttle body. Comments would be appreciated
thanks

Drill it out and re-tap. Or get one of those screws that are reverse cut. (drill hole and as you tighen the screw in, the stud extracts)

Just buy a new 10mm bolt with a 6/60 thread pitch.

and twist out the old one with some vise grips as someone already suggested.
