Now that my engine is happy, I have one last major project until I can daily drive it.

I have to pull the front end apart to get at the pumpkin gasket. And while it's apart new ball joints and a camber adjustment kit. Problem is one of the POs snapped the head off the camber bolt on driver's side. Chances are it's rusted in there too.

Current plan of action is a lot of heat and a hammer. But I don't want to screw the threads up. Any better ideas?
 
If you can find a tube of some sort that would fit snugly inside the hole where the head of the bolt was, you could use that as a guide to keep a drill bit straight and drill out the broken bolt.

That sounds reasonable, have to check around and see if I have anything that size
