broke a bolt in the head
 

i broke a sensor in the head. its threaded, but has a hole in the middle. i was thinking to stick needle nose pliers in there and try to thread it back out. anyone else have any good ideas?

engine in or out of the car? kinda hoping out for your sake

try an easy out?

its on the head, head is coming off today. got a recommendation from someone who broke the same sensor to use needlenose pliers to get it out. doesn't sound like a bad idea. i was gonna use a drill :lol:

try the needlenose, if it works your golden........if you need more torque, deadtrend is right go to sears and get a set of easy outs, they will tap themselves into the hole in the sensor and then bite in when you try to back them out.....it will let you get a box wrench or open ended wrench on there.

got it out with a flathead screwdriver. needlenose pliers didnt work. thanks guys
