You've already done the right thing by removing the extractor ring. The bolt will now come out easily. If you cracked it by trying to self-extract the crank, I don't suppose putting a fresh one in will advance your position very much
If you cracked it while installing the crank, then either the bolt was defective or your torque wrench needs recalibration..

The bolt is currently tightened into the crank by about 40nm, to confirm it won't take that much to unscrew it? I suppose it's already done the job of screwing the crank together...
I'm worried that I'll shear it by trying to unscrew it.I think it was my fault. The extractor cap wouldn't sit flush, despite being installed the same way it was taken apart. There's a small washer between the bolt and cap, which has always been in there and is preventing the cap from sitting flush.

Cracked the sram gxp crank bolt about 3/5s of the way around. I haven't tried to unscrew it yet, am I fucked?
