Please Help ... Hello all ... long time since I posted, but I am back and back with a big headache! Upon removing my factory exhaust system, in preparation for my new setup, 3 studs decided to break on me. They broke off about ¼ " or less INTO the head (so there is NOTHING sticking out to grab onto) To add to the headache, they are the studs that are located in the hard to reach area right at the front of the engine towards the front of the car (which means that there is the part of the frame obstructing from making a "roomy" space to remove them) we have tried to drill out one, without success (it did not BUDGE at all) I am fully aware that if things are messed up here, the engine could be compromised, simply by drilling too far (and puncturing a water pocket) HEEEEEELLLP! Suggestions? Secrets? Miracles? Any and All help is greatly appreciated! Thank you Ken 005541 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
