Was installing new water pump. 6 bolts total, 4 long bolts, 2 short bolts. The 2 short bolts for some reason doesnt want to screw in nicely. Well I messed up again and broke one of the short bolt off. Below is a pic of the broken bolt. Anyway I can get this damn bolt out?

you got most of the work done.get new bolts.Thread chase
the holes with the correct size tap.reinstall the water pump.
torque the bolts.;)Just remove the pump and grab the broken bolt with vise grips and turn it out. When re-installing the pump, make damn sure the proper length bolts are going into the right holes. Also tighten down in 2 passes BY HAND. DO NOT use power tools! You will be able to feel the bolt bottom out so this doesn’t happen again.
Cheers
