Anyone got something for extracting broken off bolts .... the wee bolt that holds the bottom of the front damper has snapped off in the forks on the GP going across the car park at east fortune today

sorted ... don't know how this happened but the bolt was rusted to fuck inside and must have been loose for a while as it had elongated the hole ... had to get it helicoiled
replaced bolts on both sides to avoid repeat scenario
