Never done it, but I have mangled my share of bushings. I usually put an O ring under that screw so I don't over tighten it.
How did that happen? |

Remove the whole bushing with a pair of needle nose vice grips then replace the bushing and screw.

Bingo! Also they make a screw driver bit with a gap to fit around the broken screw. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Try drilling the screw.
Hopefully the drill bit will get a bite on the screw and run it out the bottom of the bushing. Good Luck |

Remove the grip - small vice grips on the bushing remove - replace screw and bushing - you are done

Get a left hand drill bit and it will run backwards just fine. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Old thread, but I have seen that several times. It's always hex head grip screws. They should be flat head.
It could probably be backed out with a little chisel. |
