Hello all!
One of my clutch plate screws broke off at the threads (marked with an "x") I got 1/2 of the threads out with an extractor, then broke a "+" style extractor about 1/4 inch of it off in the last piece. way at the bottom.
I would assume now I have to pull off the next cover section and try to dig it out?
probably not a good Idea to reassemble without this bolt???
I wouldnt think the hardened steel extractor could be drilled out could it???

I had the same problem as you. My local engeneering firm extracted it for $10.

Take the Next Cover off , drill it out from the rear if possible ( once cover is removed )
If you need to - do a HeliCoil Kit - from Napa auto parts ...

drilling out from the rear sounds good - also when this is not possible there are left handed drill bits that seem to work well.
sometimes penetrating oil and heat may help but the best tool for these problems is patience.
ha ha at expert help!

Catch me if you can
If the extractor is in there you can forget about the drill bit..... You can try getting a piece of carbide, put it in a milling machine and get it spinning real fast and that will melt/destroy a hardened extractor, tap or other hardened metal. Only other way is to chip it out with a good punch, it's hardened but it will shatter or chip away in pieces.

I can sure see how patience is the best tool for stuff like this!
I dont know how drilling it from the back would work since the stuck extractor and bolt bottom are all the way down to the case (black line in the pictures). so probably just take the next case section off and see if I can work the extractor out ... or take it to someone qualified to do such things, its so much fun to do it yourself though!
I shouldve easily known that the extractor was starting to bend though!!!! and then... SNAP. hindsight

true - i did not read that very carefully. putting a drillbit ontop that extractor is going to make it worse.
so far i think the backside is your best bet if you can get to it. just start drilling and it should eventually catch and turn the threads out.
by the way - extractors suck. if you need one in the future try to use something else prior to going extractor mode. I use the "gripper" sockets and lefty's - in fact i almost always break the extractors when i use them. Maybe we should quit buying the cheap *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited*?

Been their done that ... ReMove the Case - drill from the back adding lot's of wd40 or pb blaster .
if you damage the threads - buy a HeliCoil Kit from NAPA auto parts ...
It does take - Patience & Time

It doesn't look like he can get to the back. Looks like the right center case is where the threads are and that may not have anything for a backside other than a lump of cast aluminum. Not to mention that it looks like he will have to split the case to get to it. I'd find a way to get out that hardened stuff and then drill it out and hope to get a 6mm metric helicoil in there or change threads to something a bit larger. What is that? An auto 200 motor??

Should look at a Manual see if it's possible to remove from the rear ( Before Removing the Case )
If you can't figure it out , Just take it to a machine shop ...

Yeah.. its a yamaha ytm 200 motor.
threads are 6mm
I removed the clutch stuff and removed the next case part. Its just a hair over 1/8" of the hardened steel extractor in there and about that first 1/8"of threads are messed up at this point. tried to drill it out with a better bit... no go, just spun on the top.
perhaps a diamond dremmel bit could grind it out??
Ill try to get some better pictures of it now that Im right on it.
