Snapped exhaust studs and other fun issues

[returning rider]

For anyone having thoughts of dealing with studs, preferably before snapping them, then these simple yet inexpensive tools have got to be worth a go.

I tried this type not from Temu but a draper set i got.

Took one out.

Sheared 2 more in place snapped level with the block.

Could not get in on straight or at all to some studs as the timing chain casing and oil pipe and water pip-es all foul access.

My advice to anyone is if your studs are still there cut off the nuts use a dremel to cut a split in them and open the but up, changing the studs is a world of pain I wish I had never tried.
