Yeah, looking at it again today and contemplating the heat and humidity we have right now I think easier is better at this point. My challenge is going to be getting the stub of the broken bolt out of the crankshaft. I guess I will try drilling it out with a left-hand drill bit as I don't want to break off an extractor in there. I thought I'd drill a guide hole in the broken bolt, thread that in a few turns, and use that to keep the bit centered as I drill my pilot hole into the stub. Is that bolt particularly hardened?
