After about a month of my Eclipse just sitting in the driveway, I am now in this predicement. While taking the oil return line off, I managed to break BOTH of the bolts off that hold the oil return line on. I was able to drill and tap one of the holes while under the car, but now that the other one broke off I couldn't get to it so I just took the whole turbo out. My question is, how do I go about getting the second bolt drilled out?? I can't exactly get the grinder to the bolt yet, there is too much stuff in the way. Can I take this apart easally? I'm not THAT expeareanced with cars, this is the biggest thing I have done to my car. Any thoughts and help is appreciated!!

You should be able to see where I drilled out the first one and then you can see where the new bolt is broke off at. So now I ask those that are a little more knowledgable of the inside of a turbocharger for a little help. And remember, I am not looking to have to have it rebalanced or anything, just a quick dissasemble so I can get the screw grounded down. Thanks again!
