Broken bolt head!!

[Shawn_hollen]

I'm changing my break pads and rotors on my 99 q45. I got to the back passenger side, and the bolts head is broke. I can't get straight with a drill to drill a hole to use easy out. Not enough bolt sticking out to grab with anything. Anyone have a idea or have had the same problem?

I forgot to add it's the bottom bolt, I have to top one off.

I went out and bought a right angle drill,and a bolt extracter. The angle drill hooks up to my normal drill to give u a nice fit into tough places. I drilled a hole in the middle of bolt, sprayed the hell out of it with PB blaster. Then used bolt extracter, got to go slow cause I broke one because I was turning it like I normally do a bolt. After a couple of hard but easy turns the bolt started coming out. I did this post for anyone that runs into this prob on any bolt on there car. I'm sure there is other ways but this is the one I choose.

Man, that's a rotten place to have a bolt break! Nice work getting it out!

Yea this is the first time I went to change them. Who ever had the car before me broke it and left it. They had changed the front ones but left the back. I had to pry them off on both sides. The break peadle has always felt good, car stopped fine till recently. The calipers r still good. Needed new rotors and breaks.
