How would you take it from here?

Gosh I missed that racing business and all those late nights in the shed

One of the footrest bolts broke in the thread. I have already drilled it to try and extract the rests of it but no luck so far. I do not really want to drill more, as I might start ruining (if not already done

) the thread.

Any idea?

If you cant get to the back of it matey get a decent drill on it, A sharp one!!!!
Then either take it out to just less that he original bolt and re tap it or use an easy out on it

It's from a rearset hanger. I can access the other end of the bolt but it didn't help. Will try again now that it's been drilled inside.

Can you get a stud extractor on the back of the broken bit Tonio?
