Snapped screw in distributor cap
Snapped screw in distributor cap
I just got done changing my distributor cap, rotor, plugs, and wires but when I took off the old cap one of the screws just twisted itself into two pieces with a littel stub left in the distributor base. I've tried using vise grips to twist it out, wet it with some WD-40 but no luck, I just snapped more off so now there's practically nothing to grab. I thought about drilling it out but don't have a bit small enough and I don't have the time to take the whole distributor out to get at the other side. So far I completed the job and just screwed the cap on with just the one screw and the car seems fine, but I don't want to leave it like this. Any ideas?

take the distributor out and drill out the broke screw. if you can find a left hand drill small enough it may break the screw loose and bring it out.
