Broken bolt in thermostat Housing

[slow97/4.6]

I was changing out my thermostat and as I was taking the first bolt off and it snapped off way down where the threads start because some ass who worked on it put lock tite in the bolt,I tried to us an easy out no luck!Just wanted to see if anyone has any ideas before I take it to a shop.

I did this once (not to the thermostat housing) and had to drill out the hole and then just retap it and get a different size bolt. Good luck man I hate locktite too! Some ass used it on my calipers and I almost snapped a bolt trying to change my brakes last year.

Couldnt get it eh? That sucks man. Well if you have a 97 like your name would indicate just get a PI intake do the PI intake swap! Maybe this happened for a reason Time to add some power to the car, thats what that bolt was tellin ya.
