Broken hex ball in bolt head

[Ukemax]

So I snapped off the end of my hex ball wrench in the front ABS sensor bolt.
Any suggestions on how to get it out ?
Thanks in advance....

A welding rod touched to that should create a bond to remove it.

That's the one thing I don't have....lol
Thanks for the idea though...

When I break ball allens, I have a slim all metal pick that I use. I wedge the point into a spot that the ball is not against and I lightly tap the pick at whatever angle I need to shock it out. Its not an ideal method, but with a bit of patience and tapping, it will come out. Nothing as frustrating as breaking a tool than breaking a tool in a bolt.

A hardened drill bit and a screw extractor.

You drill down into the middle of the bolt with a hardened drill bit and then use the screw extractor by hammering it into the hole and then taking it out as would had it never been broken.

I've had great luck using these diamond bits to slowly and carefully eat away the broken parts stuck in the hole...whether its a bolt, driver, tap, or easy out.

Any qualified welder can fix that. A good way is to place a washer over it with a 6mm hole. This covers up everything you want to protect. Have the welder move his arc from a piece of scrap to the washer to the broken part. Then weld a nut to the washer. Done right, everything will come out. When ready, heat the threaded area to breakdown any loctite that may have been used. TIG works, or a 1/16" stainless arc rod should do it. The washer and nut needs a good weld on at least 2 sides to pull a stubborn fastener.

This works really well on automotive exhaust manifolds and engine blocks.

MAKE SURE THE WELDER GROUND CLAMP IS SECURE TO THE WASHER. You can clamp the ground to a needle nose vise grip that is clamped to the washer.

If you have a small punch with a sharp tip. Place it on the broken bit and hit it in the opposite direction you broke it in.

Most of the fasteners on the bike have lock-tight on them from the factory.

I snapped off one of the allen bolts that holds the cam covers on, on my first Gen 2.

A strong magnet.
I've done that before at work and I got it out with the really strong magnets we have here at work.
Make sure it wiggles around in the hole using a small precision screwdriver or something, and when it does, just put the magnet against it to pull it out.
