    snapped the lower water pump bolt using to much force after using the incorrect bolt, i got to keen.

    tried centre puncher , drill , easy out , multi-grips and chisel .. all failed any other ideas??

    warm the block and bolt (NOT HOT) try some freezer spray on the bolt to try and crack the rust etc, do it a few times then weld a nut onto it and undo
