ok i was bolting the fly wheel to the torque converter and something bad happended. i broke a bolt. now its sitting inside the torque converter and have no way to get it out. can anyone help me with this? and i know that i can't just bolt 2 out of the 3 and get away with it. so can someone please help me get it out without pulling the tranny?
 
If broke off flush you will need to drill it and use a easyout our is some of it is sticking out you might be able to grab it with some vicegrips and back it out. And they sell reverise drill bits so when drilling into it it catch and back it out.
 
Make sure to mark the drill bit for the depth you want. Use one of the other bolts to get a measurment off of it. Tape wraped around the bit works well, that will keep you from finding the inside of the converter!

I'd try this first even if it doesn't come out you can still use an easyout.
