Just cut it off at top of threads and weld on threads from a bolt. It looks like maybe 5/8 or 3/4.

Easy fix. Get a new bolt from hardwar store. Place bolt in drill press vise, standing up. Drill down the depth of the old one, lay on side, then drill the other hole through bolt. I do this all the time whenever I break bolts like this. Spend $1.00 to $2.00 for bolt. Drill bit if you don't have $1.00 to $4.00 depending on type or grade of bit. Or spend $10.00 to $40.00 at the dealer. Have no idea what dealer will charge, but cost more to by than to make yourself. Hope fhis helps. Will be as good as new form the dealer. P.S. Get the same grade of bolt as your old one.

Do them all the time, set of v-blocks and drill press.

For the cross hole, I find it easiest to drill a hole the diameter of the bolt in a block of wood, then slide the bolt into the hole and drill through the wood into the bolt, keeps the bit from drifting off center.

You are stronger than you thought. I over tightened my filter canister so tight I cut the O ring, and almost lost all my oil, but caught it in time, when I stopped to take a leak and saw the oil leaking. Stan
