I took of and cleaned my BAC Valve, and during the reinstall I tightend the bolt on the top too tight and it snaped off. I searched and read up on drilling and tapping, but not sure if I could do it in that location. Any help would be great.
FYI: the car is a 88 Turbo II
Thanks,
Brian

Dremel a slot into the top of the stud and try a flathead?
I've done it in the past, but go really slow with it.
EDIT
Eh, never mind. Just reread your post. Dremels and Screwdrivers won't help on this.

If it doesnt, get a reversed drill bit, if that doesnt work, just drill it out and helicoil it

I ended up using vice grips, worked perfeclty. But it still dies when I am coming to a stop with the AC on, what else could cause this problem other than the BAC?
