Broken exhaust studs ..... oh dear ...

[RedClive]

Thanks for the post about heat nivek24.  You are right - they respond well to that.  My mechanic friend Dan managed to get one out that way, the other snapped level with the flange and I've still got to sort it out.  It's not helped because we've a broken off torx stuck down it :'( .  I've bought some HSS-Cobalt drills to try and drill out from here.  Apparently these are very hard ... but brittle.


If things do go wrong, Dan's got a helicoil kit, but I'll wait until I have plenty of time and go steady.  Await further update!
