Scotty, When I tried to bolt back oil pan bolt, it snapped off to the engine. How do I remove it off simply?
I meant oil pan mount bolt not the drain plug bolt.
The problem is the answers from other sources is very risky and the bolts are small to be clear.
how is your question different from those other ones?
The source of answers is the same.
Mine is broke in way too difficult, one wrong move; the engine would be over the engine since itI don't know how deep the screw goes in
I don't know what you're talking about. It's the same advice I gave before. left handed drill bits and easy outs.
Of course it's risky. So don't break your bolts in the 1st place. I've never broken a bolt.
There has never been a simple way to extract broken bolts. Good luck!
A good approach is usually to weld a nut on the end of the broken bolt so you can unscrew it. That of course requires that you have a welder or know someone who does.

Ugh. This is the story of my DIY journey. Snapped bolts.
If there is enough to grab, this might work. It’s a bolt extractor set.

But I suspect there might not be much to grab on to. So you may need to drill into it with special bits. One bit drills in the opposite way, so the extractor bit can grab hold and drill out the stick bolt.

it doesn’t have to be Harbor Freight brand, there are other brands from Amazon or your local hardware or auto store. Harbor Freight is just used for example.
Those don't work since I said before the bolt broke in half and not stripped
The second one should work? Drilling it out should work? Why wouldn’t it work?
I can see how the first one woulda work.
@Saleh_selan in response to mountainmanjoe “I don’t know how deep the screw goes in.”
1. Measure the length of one of the other screws and subtract the thickness of the oil pan flange and gasket.
2. Using a small diameter dowel (wood, plastic or metal) insert fully into one of the other tapped holes and mark with a sharpie or other, and measure the length accepted by the hole.
According to Funk fpv the bolt extractor that you bang in work better cuz they don't expand the bolt as much
