Re: broken exhaust stud

[Jimmy Peavy <peaver63@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you can get a drill in the area, you may be miles ahead by just 
drilling out the stud, and re-tapping the threads.
Eze-outs are very hard (a tap is also very hard, but much larger in size 
than an eze-out), and easy to snap off. Once that happens, it's 
impossible to drill out the bolt.
It's much harder to break a tap in a properly sized hole.
Gary Hamel can  probably shed some wisdom on this subject.
