IMG_1216.JPGAny suggestions on how to remove three broken screws from the top of the shifter quadrant assembly ? Really nothing left of the screw to get a grip on. Here is a photo ...thanks. It is the 3 screws that hold down the assembly.IMG_1216.JPG
 
Fit a fender washer over the screw. Weld the washer to the stud. Weld a nut to the washer. By the time you do this the heat would have loosened the screw thread. Back it out with an impact driver if it's still tight

Great idea ! Unfortunately I don't have the ability or equipment to do that ... wish I did. Thanks

Drill them and use an EZ_out. This has a reverse thread so that as it threads in, it is turning the screw out ( counterclockwise ). Most auto places or sears sells them.

 
Without a welder. I have ground down the tower enough to get a good vice grip on the screw. I use kroll or a home mix of mineral spirits and ATF 50/50 on stubborn screws.
