Default Snapped Cam Cap Bolt in P8R head.

Just when everythings going smooth I snap the bolt. Anyways my buddy might have the tool to back it out. If not can I drill and tap the head or is it not suggested with where I snapped it at?

This weekend has been the worst.

before you you drill and retap, buy a bolt extractor(looks like a drill bit. Drill a small hole in the bolt, and use the bolt extractor to turn it back out! May have to go to a specialty shop to get these bits in the size you need.

Worst case scenario, take it to a machine shop. They will cahrge you like 15-25 bucks, but at lest you wont **** it up

^what he said. I have had the same thing happen to me and this tool worked very well. Typically each bolt extractor uses a specific sized drill bit and the bolt extractor can be purchased individually or in a kit.
