Gday all!

Had myself a bit of a blunder about half hour ago! Am in the process of replacing the head on my 05 zd30, got all headbolts torqued down and went to start torquing the cam caps down, set torque wrench, and on the very first one I snapped the bloody thing! Not sure what I did wrong, but the wrench wasn’t clicking to indicate the correct set torque had been achieved. Of course, just as I started thinking “surely this should be tight enough” SNAP.....
Now Im hoping someone here might be able to help me with a suggestion on how to get the thread out?
Mind is in overdrive and I’m stressing hard! ANY ADVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! Cheers
 
Got it! The el cheapo easy outs I had weren’t cutting it, but went and grabbed some better quality ones from work! Very unnerving job but I got the damn thing and the overwhelming relief was just what I needed! Was quite a tedious job to do 😅 thanks fellas 🍻
