Message	long story short i have 3 throttle body bolts broken off in my upper plenum, 2 on one side and one on the other, and i can't get them out. i actually had a broken bolt extractor break off in one of them trying to loosen it. the other i tried just won't budge. i even resorted to driving the extractor with a drill, and the motor on the drill started to smoke. any tips before i start looking for a new plenum? this is a bummer. andrew davidoff
