2. Drill out the center of the bolt and use an EZ-out to remove it. success on small bolts like that isn't high though. 2. drill the thing out, then re-tap the hole for a slightly larger bolt. : So I was replacing a sparkplug, one of the sparkplugs closest to the front of the car, and the screw that holds everything in was rusted and bent, so I ordered a new one. I waited a while to get it, but I got it. So, today, as I was screwing it in, the top twisted right off! The screw was not already in place, but plyers aren't getting the sucker out. Any suggestions? How do I get out a screw like this? Please help! Thanks.
1. use a hacksaw or dremel to cut a slot in the top for a screwdriver to fit in. then let the bolt hole soak in liquid wrench or something of that type for several hours, then hope it comes out without damaging the threads.
