Hey, wondered if anyone could help!
Ive recently bought some lowering springs for my ek3 and decided to spend the day fitting them. I managed to get the front right one fitted, but when taking the piston bolt off the left shock assembly the allan key snapped!! The problem is there's no part of the allen key sticking up to get a hold of. The other thing is that the bolt was so stiff that i think the allen key would have been wedged in there good and proper.

Has anyone had this experience before and know of a decent solution? I will try and post a picture up as well... sorry about the focus, only had my iphone available at the time.

Thanks in advance for any help.

cant make out from the pic, has the end of the allen key snapped off or has the bolt snapped?
 
allen keystuck in the top there think if u got a really small drill bit and just keep drilling down threw it its eventually come out
 
Aye do a tiny drill down the middle, go a tiny bit bigger, few times should be enough do that the rest of the outside of the Allen Key will just crack to bits and fall out
 
Ok thanks for the help! I will give it a drill today and hopefully won't get another one stuck in there!
