Broken bolt help!

A friend broke the bolt that holds down the injectors via a bracket. Car can't be driven and known shops like SSR performance are an hour away.

Does anyone know a shop or mobile guy that could extract or tap the screw hole in the San Fernando valley?

Why won't you do it your self? easy location and it's simple, plus it will be like $20 in tools if you don't have.

It's not just a broken bolt... it's also a broken screw extractor which is harden steel.

damn dude, just take your time, its all you can do. Even if someone comes to you its not going to be a 15 minute job.

Seen this exact same thing happen on another car. Not a whole lot you can do besides drill it out, slowly, and re-tap that bish...sux dude but totally fixable just takes some time.

you can't drill those out, you have to shatter them.

Good luck, patience is key
