If the little bolt is broken off flush, we have used a left hand drill bit. It works in reverse and sometimes will grab and pull the broken part out.

To add---be sure you drill the center and do not damage the threads in the intake.

Thank you. It was broken about 1/4" recessed.. I couldn't get a good angle with the drill. Those screws are hard stuff. I ended up drilling the hole bigger and rethreading with a machine screw. That worked. Thanks!
