so I had a fastener break while tightening a bolt, somehow I must have overtorqued it
![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/3842/637940.jpg) any ideas on how to get it out? |

Pull the cover and get a vice-grips on it or if close a small chisel and hammer and gently tap it out CCW. I know because I've done the same thing before. I even did it torquing them. Now I just snug them up and have not had a leak or broken one since. |
