A bolt broke off in the shaft that secured the front clutch on my son’s go-kart. I don’t want to risk trying to extract it myself and making it worse. Any suggestions on where I could take it to get removed? (BR/Prairieville)

Pull the charging handle back and use the bolt catch to....oh wait. Not that kind of bolt. My bad.

Take it to a good engine machine shop. They'll get it out in no time at all.

Go to a BLM rally and tell them it's a white bolt; they'll take care of it

Drill, easy out, hammer, and a crescent wrench are the tools you need.

Honestly, you can actually look this problem up on YouTube.

I have had to do the same and YouTube has some pretty handy videos on how to solve your problem

If you have the tools an easy way to do it is weld a another bolt to it and use that bolt to back it out.

This.

Plus, if you can, put some heat around the area and just take it slow. If the drill action doesn't pull it out, then you have a hole to put an extractor in.
