some asshole told me the torque settings in inch/lbs and i misunderstood and went for foot lbs, something like 60 ft lbs or some ****.

anyway, of course it snapped.

heres what i did:

i had a smallish screwdriver, and when a screw breaks it almost always leaves a little knock on top, it's not usually going to break evenly, its more likley going to break along a thread. I took a hammer and the screwdriver and slowly pounded the screwdriver out by tapping the screwdriver against the knock. I think the whole ordeal took me about five minutes, i stood longer at Honda waiting for them to find me the damn bolt.
