There is no way to see into the hole in order to judge whether I'm drilling directly. I could easily ruin the threads or widen the hole. and even if I could go straight in without pulling the engine out of the engine bay, the bolt was fighting really madly badly when it broke. So I have to think that centimeter of threaded bolt that is stuck down there is in really hard. And I mean really hard.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
