Broke a fuel rail screw.

I was tightening the bolts on my fuel rails and i snapped one. I didn't tighten it much but i think it was damaged somewhat from heat over time. I was wondering if there is any special way to get the old screw out since i have the top half of it out but there are still threads in it.

I can't find the right size tap at the hardware stores iwent to but i did find the correct screw. Is there any way i can extract the old screw without drilling and retapping?

Re: Broke a fuel rail screw.

EZ Out should do the trick.

Its a reverse threaded tool that will extract the screw. You just drill a small hole on top of the screw to get the EZ Out started and it should come right out.
