I've read all the suggestions you've got so far, all sound good, I'll add my 2 cents worth. I'm wondering if you've drilled all the way through the broken bolt? This is a last resort method, but I'd suggest taking your torch and cutting and blowing the easy out...out. It will be hard, and you'll have to stop and let your tip cool off a couple of times, but I've done this and its worked for me. The easy out is a different metal and will melt faster, and you'll heat the bolt in the process, which should free up the bolt. I'm guessing you're dealing with a 5/16 bolt, so its gonna be a tricky proposition to do it, but if all else fails give it a try. The real drawback to heating broken studs and bolts is that you're actually hardening them when you heat them, therefore, I always attempt to drill all the way through them and have a fairly good sized hole, so if all else fails you're not trying to drill a hole in a bolt thats so hard its almost impossible to drill through. One more suggestion....don't use cheap easy outs...I've had best luck with the ones from Snap On. I didn't see anyone mention this, but one other solution might be to simply ignore the broken bolt---use silicone, and hope it doesn't leak where you've got the broken bolt.

Even so, when it comes to the charging system, people quickly revert to this idea and start replacing the major components one at a time until it works. The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
