      Broken tap

      So here's where I am:

      1/4-20 tap snapped off about 1/2 deep. It will rotate about 1/4 turn. I tried a tap extractor and the pins sheared twice. Can't put enough load on it. This is on my trans crossmember, of course the very last thing I was doing. I haven't tried any other methods yet. Waiting for some sound advice before I go nuclear on it.
      I'd like to fix it now but realistically I can wait until the body is off in another month or so.
