Sadly Former Owners are not Master Mechanics and there is the old addage that and overtorqed Bolt is 1/2 broken (or something like that). You remove the Blot and don't know it is going to break until you tighten it again.

How do you remove what is left of a Bolt or Screw when it breaks during removal? Those are the instructions that would help the OP.
