Saturday Night Racer - need a little help

Btroxell LMR Rookie Offline Dirt Late Models Rule! Posts: 97 Bakersfield	need a little help 05/09/10 at 10:49pm I snapped off an easy out bit in a broken exhaust manifold stud, and I don't know how to get it out. I've tryed a bigger easy out but it won't drill in to the broken one. Any ideas?

i've broke them off to... the way i got it out was to take a chizzel and hammer, and try to tap it out... its a pain to do but it was the only option i had at the time... also take a torch and heat the metal up around it... it will expand and hopfully make the stud a little losser... or soak the heck out of it with some panther piss or some other kind of bolt lossener

Once I got it out I drilled the hole oversized and put a helicoil in it. I didn't have a welder at the time. That seems like a pretty good idea. CD
