Extracting Broken Bolt

Two days after acquiring this CB750K1, I noticed that the points cover was missing a screw. First I thought it was merely a missing screw. Well, it turned out that the screw is there, broken inside.



How do I extract this BOLT??????

I found a nifty tool at HomeDepot. It is a Black and Decker Screw Extractor.




It is simple to use, but it requires patience. You center punch the broken bolt/screw. Drill a hole - start as small as possible. You don't want to damage the original thread. Tap the extractor into the drilled hole. Crank the extractor counter clock wise to get it out.
