One of my front engine mount bolts broke about an eighth of an inch inside the engine mount. I tried using a grabit to get it out but that didn't work and it smoothed out the beginning of the threads on the engine. Can some one please help! Thank you. :-||

The other method is to use a Dremel with a cutting wheel to slot the top of the broken stud and use a screw driver to back it out. With the end of the stud broken off in the hole complicate things a bit but it can still be done. It will leave a slot in the case but there's almost no other way. Many will say to get left-hand drills that when you drill the hole in the stud for an easy-out the drills will sometimes grab the stud and back it out. That's never worked for me but YMMV.
