I have a 2003 Escape XLT 6cyl. While replacing the front 3 ignition coils, I got down to removing the last coil and after about half a turn the bolt holding the coil in place snapped clean in half while still in the hole. Does anyone have suggestions on how to remove it? It is a VERY tiny bolt so the drill it out method seems like a no go in this case.

I am also open to suggestions on how to mount the new coil without using the screw hole to hold it in place. Thanks.

Edit: I can upload pictures of the the top of the broken bolt and of the part of the bolt that is still in the hole if it helps. Also, the bolt shaft measures about 1/8", do they make screw extractors that small? I have found ones 1/8" in size but would that work?

 

Drill it out. The key is having a good drill-bit. Go slow and keep bit cool and lubricated. If you burn the bit or dull it, throw it out and switch to a new bit. Watch your depth too.
My neighbor fought the same issue with a Dodge. The bolt used was a hardened metal which makes it more difficult than drilling other bolts out, but also explained the brittleness of the bolt.

 

Depending on where you are , what tools you have available and how close you are to a tool supply place. If you use a left handed drill bit with a battery operated drill in the opposite direction of the usual right handed drill direction, you can try drilling out the broken screw in the same direction as removing it and many times the broken piece will break loose and unscrew itself. It's a little bit of work, but may save you some extra work in the long run.
