broken lug bolt

[Xear0]

I was havin tires put on today and the tech (who was kinda in a hurry) used the torque wrench to take the wheels off and snapped one of the lug bolts off inside my wheel hub. they were able to change the tires and everything is good except the lug bolt stuck inside the rotor/wheel hub. what would be the best way to remove said piece? ive been told a reverse drill bit would work. ideas?

PB Blaster or some other good penetrant, a MAPP gas or Propane torch, and an easy-out or reverse bit of some nature. If that dont work, stage two involves some welding.
Lets hope stage one will suffice!

mapp or propane?? wat the hell?

forgive for i have never run into this problem before, i have an idea as to wat to do but nothin concrete.

Spray some PB Blaster
(its the best!) and let it sit for a tick, then using an easy out or reverse drill bit, apply heat for a moment and try to jimmy that little bugger out of there

is it actually tight in there, its normally the head of the bolt pressing down on the surface that makes it tight, now the head had been snapped off it may be loose in there

EXACTLY THE CASE.

the shop wanted 50 bucks to fix the shit they caused. so i got an easy out and took the wheel off and when to drill it and the THING FELL RIGHT OUT IN BETWEEN THE ROTOR AND DUST SHIELD.

i had to take the caliper and rotor off the let it fall out. but its fixed. just took waay longer than nessecary lol. breakin the caliper bolts loose was a bitch tho. prolly never been done before. its bout time for rear rotors too.
