Hi everyone, I was an idiot today and snapped one of the oil pan bolts on my 1994 ST. The bolt head sheared off at the pan leaving nothing to grab onto to remove the broken shank. Short of removing the whole pan and getting the bolt out that way, what would you guys recommend?

the extractor method works good. what I usually do is start with a small drill bit and work my way up until there is nothing left of the original broken bolt. ill run a tap in the hole to clean up the threads. done!
