FX-1 What to do about a broken off bolt in cases?

[Shadow7874]

When I rebuilt my motor a year or two ago I snapped one of the bolts for the flywheel cover off. I drilled it out a bit and went at it with an easy out and ended up snapping it off inside the bolt. I grabbed another easy out and tried ago.
Now I have an easy out stuck inside of an easy out stuck inside of a bolt stuck inside of the hole....
I just used a lot of the gasket sealer around the whole and it has been fine since (from what I can tell) but Ill probably be replacing the flywheel and bendix this year and I though about getting a billet cover with an o-ring instead of the gasket. If I go that route I definitely want to fix the bolt properly.
Which methods would you guys recommend? The cases have a tiny bit of internal damage from when my crank bearing shredded itself so spending a ton of money getting it fixed might not be worth it, although the damage is almost entirely cosmetic.

If it makes a difference its a 61x


edit: also, instead of starting a new thread to ask this, does anyone know which sit downs share parts with Superjets/FX1s? Mainly looking to pickup a 701 and maybe pump for spare parts if I ever see a cheap sitdown on CL.

I had this happen to the bed plate bolt on a 61x case, I broke an extractor as well (a reverse threaded tap, basically). Finally drilled around and got out the extractor. Perplexed as to where to turn next, I learned a trick from the Steam Fitter in our shop who showed me an amazing fix. Basically you have to drill a hole through the center of the bolt, then cut a slit down the length of the bolt until you reach the case using the smallest hacksaw blade you can find. The bolt you are trying to get out is tiny, soo you will have to use a scroll saw blade. (this is all done by hand, soo wrap the blade in tape or a glove and be patient) By cutting this slit, it will take pressuer off of the entire length of the bolt allowing it to turn freely. Then, simply use an extractor again and it will come out.

for the sit downs that share some parts for 701 superjet, you need to look for Waverunner 3 GP, VXR pro, Waveraider 701(some are 62t, very few are 61x). You will have to buy a SJ or fx1 driveshaft and midshaft(just the shaft), and if you get a raider or wr3 you will need to get a sj wear ring that has threaded holes on it.
If your running 61x engine you can also make alot of use out of a regular VXR or WR3 with the 650 engines, just not the engine. You can use, stator, crank, most electrical except CDI, pump vane.

When I break an easy out in the stuck bolt, I usually yell and give up. Props on drilling into the broken easy out, thats a feat in itself.
