Help getting a tiny screw that broke inside a 1986 honda rebel

Lol exactly. The bike runs fine with the stupid thing inside but theres a f***ing annoying tapping noise from the exaust almost coming loose. I bought the bike for 800$ its not worth adding a 400$ for mechanic work. The rear brake light stays on and i want a couple of parts swapped out so im taking it into the shop within the next month or so but i want to do all i can at home to ease my wallet. Id be perfectly happy with the bike if not for the clacking noise.

Yeah. Im trying to stay away from drilling because i really dont want to make it worse. The screw inside is likely very rusted but i think with a very strong point and someone holding the bike it should come out. Its at a really awkward place too. So i wouldnt really trust a drill in this case.

@SOLGardener. That is actually a really great idea. Never thought of that. And it could possibly work. Ill take some pics outside in a few minutes and excuse the redneck mechanics. I just want to hold it together untill i get all the peices to it.

Pull the exhaust off and then show a Pic..In any case before you do any thing other than pull the pipe, soak with PB Blaster. Let soak overnight

if there is any of the stud sticking out, you could put a nut on it, fill with weld and back it out with a wrench

Easy job for left handed bit. You will likely have to remove that leaking exhaust pipe first.
