Broke a bolt...uh oh.
This isnt technically a 3rd gen question, but seeing as how I am gonna get a 3rd gen very soon and you guys are so nice...... 
I broke off a bolt tightening down the valve cover on my g/f's mazda. It was leaking from there and I replaced the gasket I was bolting it down and the one bolt didnt want to get tight. There honeslt wasnt a lot of resistance and then it just snapped off.
Any ideas on how to get it out? Im pretty new at all this. Shoulda just got a torque wrench and done it proper, but still...there was like no resistance so maybe it was just old?
Thanks.
