any idea on how I can get this out? It’s flushed to the top and doesn’t reach the bottom

Your going to need to tap it and use an extractor. If you've never done it before its best to have a professional do it so you don't risk messing up the head. Good luck!

You'll need an extractor for sure.

If you broke it putting it in, you maybe able to get some pliers on it gently and back it out(fine point pick and hammer and chisel(when used correctly) may work as wel).. I'm assuming the broken stud has headroom.

If it broke taking it out, that's another story...you tell me.

Best!

You can clearly see in the picture there is nothing to grab onto.

Use a left handed drill bit. Harbor Freight has a little set of them.

I did the same thing but I was able to get the bolt out. My question is does anyone know what kind of metal is it made out of? I'm going to go to home Depot and get a replacement

Drill it out and retap,looks like m5 or m6. Easy money

The screw is mild steel...put a magnet on it

It’s not mild steel, that would be too weak and doesn’t machine nicely. It’ll be a steel alloy of decent tensile strength, but still malleable enough to run through the thread rolling machine.

Oof. I would use a centerpunch and start there and a small drill bit. Then as stated, extractor. Then replace with either junkyard valve cover bolts or hardware store.

If the bolt is flush with the head, need to weld a nut to extract it. This will prevent damage to the threads.

thanks. I did find a suitable replacement for that bolt at Home Depot. Appreciate the quick replies back.

The maintenance guy at my work showed me this trick. If you can afford an air engraver it will work wonders on a bolt like that. You just use the tip to push on the little broken edge. Some PB blaster and the vibrations have saved me a lot of hassle at work.
