I replaced the head on the passenger side and as i was tourquing down the head bolts the top back bolt broke off. How can i get it out without tearing anything else up.

Hi there,

If the engine is out of the car you may be able to carefully drill the center of the molt and use a bolt extractor, (get a good quality one) otherwise you will have to remove the head. and fit all new Head bolts.
