Icon2 Help! I broke a bolt in the intake manifold. :(

I have a 1989 acura integra hatch.
I was taking off the IACV to clean it, and then when putting it back on a bolt broke off in the intake manifold, flush with the manifold, so there is nothing to grab onto.

Is there a way to get the bolt out without removing the intake manifold? If i do have to take off the manifold how do i do it? how do i get to the bolts on the bottom??

Thanks.

You can use a small sharp chisel and hammer, make a dent straight into the stud first, then angle the chisel and tap it CCW to remove the stud, make sure you go in the correct direction, you may be looking at it backwards.

can you get a reversable drill back there, Craftsman has a very nice easy out with left hand drill bit head, a couple different types, works very well, small black case with three bits.

Sounds like the bolt is stuck, since it broke off. Probably you will need to have it drilled out with a drill press.
