So. Cal.
I was putting back on the piece on the plenum in the front that has two screws. Well as I was screwing it in the hole, the screw snapped. So I went and got a bolt extractor kit but then the drill bit that was supposed to pull it out snapped as well. Now I have the snapped screw in there along with the snapped bolt extractor bit. Wtf am I supposed to do now? Do I just return the plenum or what? PLEASE HELP ME!!! This is getting me soo pissed!

drill out the bolt with a smaller drill bit.

Good luck drilling out hardened steel.

Find a friend with a dremel, clut a small slot in the bolt extracter/broken bolt and use a screwdriver.
If you can't do that, find a friend that is able to use tools without breaking them.
 
Try using a pair of vise grips on the broken drill bit. If you were lucky enough to get the drill bit deep enough into the threads they both might come out at the same time. If not and only the drill bit comes out you'll be able to start over. Take you time. Good Luck.
