Snapped the front bumper on my Kraton and two of the bolts snapped as well. What would be my best way to go about getting them out?
Screw extractor?

Wow, thank you! The plate was super tight so I thought it had threads. Got it off with a hammer and a flathead screwdriver??Remove the red plate and there should be enough bolt left to get hold of with mole grips, then just carefully unscrew the bolt..??

?? yes, I could not find any extractors that small. Good to know for the future!For future reference, screw extractors won't work on bores that small. You ever get one that can't be gripped with vise grips or pliers, you need to drill it out. Start with the smallest bit you have, this one is mainly to centre your hole then start progressing with bit sizes. By time you get to 3/4 of the bore, softly angle the bit while its inside the hole(SOFTLY, as to not break the bit) and reverse the drill slowly. More often than not this will extract the bolt. But in some cases you will need to completely drill the bolt out and re-tap(re-thread) the hole with a slightly larger tap from a Tap and Die set.
They DO make them for bolts that small but as someone who has used them many times over the years, I believe the smallest bore I ever used one successfully on was 3/8(roughly 10m)?? yes, I could not find any extractors that small. Good to know for the future!
