I changed my coolant and took the thermostat off. I overtightened one of the bolts anyone have any ideas on how to get the threaded section out? This really sucks everything works fine but there is a very very small drip that I see I believe which is due to the missing bolt.

is it clean off? is there any part of the bolt sticking out of the hole or is it flush or worse, deep in the hole? if it is partly out, you may have a chance with some vise grips and a death grip, or maybe even a welder to weld a nut on it to back it off. if it is deep, depending on clearance, you may have to drill or punch it out(to break it in little pieces) to extract the remains. I have no idea where the thremostat is at this point since I had just got this car...

It's not dripping anymore, so I'm just gonna keep an eye on it. I'm afraid that if I take it off and I'm not able to get the thread part out I'll be screwed. Scared it'll leak if I put it back on. The threaded part is in there. Thanks for the help.
