help please
ok , heres the story. i was under the pony and takin the cat exhaust out. everything was going tickety boo untill i got to the pass side. i got the 1 bolt out when i realized that somebody before me must have had a broken stud at 1 time or another. i heated up the flange with my propane torch to get her hot to remove the bolt that was in place of the stud. i gave it a couple of turns and i was happy until " ping". i know that sound well as when i was a punk i worked at a midas. sh.., f..kn, c..ks..ker. now what , i have no welder, i have a tap and die set but no bolt extractor. it snaped off with 2 threads showin. now my question, these bolt extractors, i know how they work but how far do i drill into the bolt to get the extractor in? also ive heard that if you dont go far enough and snap the extractor your f..ked? any help apreciated

Man that blows!!!!Might be a good time to get some headers :headscrat ,shorties or long tubes!!!!:confused:
|
i have tried a few of those extractors, and even if you do get a good hole drilled, they still break pretty easily.
i have broke just about every one of them that i have tried. what about just drilling it out and tapping a new hole? is that possible? |

There is a stud remover that can likely get that out, go to Canadian tire and see if you can rent/borrow one, it's a stud remover just for this purpose, it's not an extractor or "easy-out", it's a socket type of tool with a hole and a slide with teeth to bind on the stud and walk it out, the tool I use is made by Snap-On, they may have an off brand one there though, it works well, just make sure you heat up the manifold around the stud, but don't heat the stud itself.
