I hade the trans bolts on my '04 T come loose and ended up breaking one off. I got a good easy out, soaked the broken bolt from the top for like 2 days with penetrating oil, drilled clean through the bolt, carefully put some heat on it and thought this will be a cake walk but to my surprise the SOB didn't even budge. I soaked it another day. Went back out try again and after getting so frustrated I decided to really put some force on and shattered the easy out. Never had this happen. So I am now coming to you knowledgable brothers to enlighten me with tricks to get the rest of the easy out, out, so I can just drill the whole bolt out and retap to a bigger size.
Thanks

I had a similar thing happen to me. I torqued off the head of one of the transmission pan bolts. I was using a torque wrench that didn't go to a low enough torque setting on the dial so I was trying to "come close".

I ended up taking it to the dealer and it looks like they retapped it to a larger size.

I subsequently purchased a Snap-On 1/4" digital torque wrench that measures in inch/lbs. No more stupid moves like that for me.

That is really my plan but I am not sure how to get the remaining easyout that shatteredand was still in the bolt. I have heard that I just need something hard and shatter the rest out but after trying a few things nothing worked. Thanks for you comment though

I've changed hundreds of transmissions in my day. It isnt uncommon to find one where the broken bolt was left in the block. Worst case, you can forget about it if you have to. When the transmission has to come out or the engine blows up you can address it then.
