Default Broke bolt torqing p. plate! help

I was replacing the clutch on my 81 240 and on the final torquing of the pressure plate bolts I managed to snap off the head of one of the bolts. The head came clean off, and the rest is stuck in the flywheel. Should I just remove the flywheel and drill it out, and then re-thread it? Any ideas?

Remove the fly wheel so that you have access to the bolt. Try a small bolt puller first, before you rethread it. Drill a small hole and then use the smallest puller you have. hopefully you drill straight so that you don't have to rethread.

If they are through holes take flywheel off center drill bolt and drill from behind. The drill will naturally unscrew it.
