Screw with broken head
Two of my 10mm screws for the sparkplug cover have broken heads. The screws are sticking out is in place. What is the best way of removing it?
Not trying to be critical--but, you ought to bring it to someone else to get it fixed. Your mechanic has the rt tools. No reason those bolts ( not screws) were that tight.
Grasp the screw shank with locking pliers and slowly turn it counterclockwise until it’s free.
Since you have some thread left. vice grip and lots of WD-40 on the thread.
I would suggest removing the black plactic cover before the vice grips marr it up.

One of the screw has the thread sticking out which I can probably use locking pliers. The other one doesn't so not sure what to do. Google said to get screw remover drill bits, drill it in to the broken screw and hand twist counterwise to remove. Does sound right?
