Broken Bolt ???

Heres the situation I purchased an 89 Ford F250 Inline 6cyl I was aware that a bolt was broken where the starter goes I didnt know they tried using an extraction bit and broke it as well. Now I was wondering If I could use a left handed Drill Bit and maybe that will back it off or should I go ahead and drill all the way through and re tap the hole?

Thanks

There are some times when I am happy to pay someone to do it. I believe the problem you mention is one of those times. I would drive it to my machine shop and unleash the big boys on it.

If you still have starting problems, start a new thread with a title reflecting that, OK? Thanks.
