Go get a broken bolt remover set. Its a drill bit kinda thing that will back the broken part back out. You have to have a drill though.

i think the bolt has lock tight on it and what im afraid of is that the oil will lubricate it and make t hard enough and the locktight together is gonna make it impossible to get this removed.

I broke a bolt in the exhaust side of my turbo once which had locktite on it. I drilled a small down the center of the broken bolt....took a bolt remover drill bit and came out without a fuss. Worth a shot.

damn man that sucks, is htere any way to get a pair of pliers or anything on the piece that snapped off? i had something similar happen to me, except the oil fitting wasnt in all the way and f'd up the threads in the eninge block and i had to get them re-tapped....was really frustrating. i would ask a mechanics shop near u what u should use to go about getting it out, that or try plumbing supply place
