help! stud extraction from head

Might have one of those in the garage, brand new mate... will check tomorrow if you want.

 

sending my da to VW for one tomoro, cheers anyway craig

 

that exact stud was the reason why my car is now a 2l.
same problem as you, took to a garage who tried to drill it and mad a complete mess of it and butchered my head, so the head had to come off and while the top end was out the bottom end seemed a good idea too.
how did he drill it out out of interest?

 

A quid says he used a drill

I remember watching my old man drilling out a snapped stud, he drilled straight into with a small drill, then went up a size every time until the stud was so thin and crumbly in the head he just picked it out with a small screwdriver. One stud gone, and original threads left all new and shiney
