Default Rear Main Seal bolt snapped inside of block
so I was putting the rear main seal housing on today and long story short the bolt snapped under 15 ft lbs of torque...an inch into the block i can't seem to drill it out without it walking off the center if the bolt to even get an extractor in, its a 1/4 inch bolt and I need this thing out now any ideas?

Uh-oh, thats no good lol....not sure what to do now....is it sticking out of the block a little? If you have a dremel, or anything like that, maybe try to cut a slot in the extractor so you can get a flat head screw driver on it, not sure how well that would work but....thats all I got

there about an inch before you get to the threading for the bolt so I'm thinking tap the the shouldered section with a fine thread I should be able to get away with this
