Hopefully this will work...but it will be about 3 weeks before my buddy can help me.
They only drill I could see fitting in that area would be a pneumatic 90 degree drill with a thin chuck. And even then I wouldnt be able to drill straight in for an extractor. If anyone else is dealing or has dealt with a broken bolt...what method worked?
Id rather eat bugs than drop thus differential.

I used this very same method to extract a broken exhaust manifold bolt on a 460 BB where the shaft of the bolt was barely proud of the surface of the manifold. Work perfectly. You should have no problem with this method. Bolt will come out easily.
