Hey! So the Allen bolt broke clean off in my carbon seat post this morning.
Is there any way to remove this or am I going to have to replace the seat post!?

You would need to drill it and use a stud extractor
I highly recommend a high quality left hand drill bit set, and go suuuuuuuper slow as you press into it. This should help drill a hole for an extractor… at the same time as the bit catches, it may extract the bolt as well. .
The left hand drill bits drill in the opposite direction (counter clockwise) of regular bits.
Using a regular drill bit might push the bolt further in, so id avoid using those.
