What really hacks me off about this is when I replaced my exhaust last year I managed to get all the nuts off ok. I reused them knowing I'd need to replace them. Yesterday I set about doing this. Stupidly the first one snapped because due to not much sleep the night before and not thinking I forced the nut off without easing it back and forth to loosen it. The second one, well that would have snapped anyway I think. Another one was so badly rusted it unscrewed the stud out of the engine. Not so much of a problem.
To remove my broken ones I'm going to cut a slot in the end of the stud with my dremel. Then heat the head with a blow torch to expand it away from the stud to loosen it. Hopefully this will work as I can't be asked removing the engine.
