This is the extension piece for a 1970 33hp Evinrude. I was lucky that the broken off bolt head did not prevent me from taking off the extension. Now that I have it accessible for further surgery to remove the remaining piece of the bolt, I am concerned that if I just grab a hold of it with my vice grips, it may just break off again. I'm sure this situation has come up before. What is the recommendation? The paint job is decent on this motor, so I don't want to ruin it by burning off the paint with a flame. So I assume plenty of WD-40 is the best course of action? BTW all the other bolts came off fairly easily.
