I replaced my brakes on the drivers side of my 1992 BMW 325I. While placing the caliper back on I broke the bottom bolt. Exactly, how do I get it out?

you will need to remove the pads, and see if you can slip it off the bolt. then if it sticks out some use vice grip pliers to remove the broken piece. or drill and use an easy out.
