Kinda gat a problem guys. As i was finishing the install of my 24lb fuel injectors, i overtorqued one of the UIM screws, breaking one of em in. Am worried i might not be able to get it out. HELP!
 
get a drill bit thats a little smaller than the bolt and drill out the center of the bolt , then use a bolt extractor. aka easy out
 
Could the metal shavings get into nooks n crannies of the intake which could hurt sumthn?

take the intake completely off the car,drill out the hole and blow some compressed air through it. also before you drill try to put some masking tape around the hole so you dont damage the surface :D
 
When/If you get that dam broken bolt out, I have a few extras out in the garage if you need one. The same thing happened to me, I just swapped out the LIM with another I got off Ebay....came with a bag of bolts.
