BOLT EXTRACTION

Hi, went to take my wing off for spraying and one of the bolts has snapped that holds the wing on under the bonnet.

Does anyone know how to remove the bolt ie guides advice etc?

thanks

Yea, I second what Chaffe said. If it's a stainless steel bolt it can be a pain. To keep your drill bit from going blunt, use a steady speed, take a break every 10 seconds and oil the end of your drill bit.
