need advice on flywheel / clutch

[carlsbadbronco]

I've broken a bolt off int flywheel while attaching the clutch. I tried to drill out and remove but just made it worse. I have no patience even after a few beers. Is there anyone that knows if I can get by with 5 of the six bolts needed to fasten the clutch to the flywheel? [-o<

I don't think it would be a good idea, but I'm driving around with 4 lugs on my right front tire.

NO you will burn out your clutch in no time it needs to have even pressure across the pressure plate. my advice is get all 6 new bolts(u should do that anytime u replace a clutch) . best bet is remove the pressure plate and then take off the fly-wheel and bring to machine shop for them to remove. also have them turn/resurface it. and get new bolts for the flywheel as well. that way u will know it will work like new and won't have to remove the transmission again >-
