Broke a torx screwdriver in a recessed hex bolts. Removal?

[cvxdes]

I finally removed it by drilling out the other side, the nut type thing holding it in. Thus, rendering the stock suspension system useless.

Good thing I have plans for upgrades, otherwise I'd be pretty **** bummed right now.

Small carbide endmill will do the trick but be careful and steady.

I'm not sure if I have one of those. If you could post a pic, I'd appreciate it!

The quick way

Take a hammer and a punch and hit the torkz bit until it shatters. It is tool steel and it will break into small pieces that can be removed easily this always works for me. GOOD tool steel will shatter before bending especially a small piece like you have wedged. This also works on set screws, although cobalt drills can drill through it sometimes. PS everyone has made simalar mistakes like this but a good mechanic has to learn quickly never make the same mistake twice. Dane

broken bit

My suggestion is to drill a small hole in the center and tap it to accept a small bolt, perhaps 1/8 inch. Screw in a small long bolt and get a good grip on it with a pair of vice grips and hit the vice grip upwards with a hammer ,it should pop out.

This is the best response to the question, it worked well for me, thanks

Broke a torx screwdriver in a recessed hex bolt. Removal?

So I was tinkering with the rear suspension of my new GT LTS, where I'm going to fit a monster 8.5x2.5 Fox RP shock in place of the standard 5.25x1 shock.
When tightening it back up, I learned the meaning of "the right tool for the right job"
I used a torx driver instead of a hex key, and it snapped inside. At this point, I don't know how to handle it. I've tried all unobtrusive methods that I know of. Melted hot glue, magnet, banging on the opposite side with a center punch and hammer.. nothing freed it. Problem is it's twisted, and that's holding it in.
I figured i'd ask the pros for advice.

Picture attached.

I'm thinking I may have to drill it out, tap it with a left hand thread, screw that in, and screw the messed up bolt out. Then my only problem is finding a replacement.

I would look up fastener shop near you they will probally have something
