My brother told me to just use a bigger hammer on that stripped bolt

Ignored him, tried an extractor bit. Snapped it clean off inside the engine block. Anyone else have a better fix for a sheared extractor besides drilling it out?

Well, my genius move just made a bigger problem.

That extractor snap is a real gut punch, @the_blair.

Remember how the manual says to check for stress marks before each use. Bet that part got skipped in the rush to get it done.
