Anyone Have an Exhaust Stud Drill Plate Tool I can Borrow?

[Timeless]

If you have seen any of my other threads, I broke one of the front exhaust studs in my XB. There was a small amount of the stud sticking out of the head so I welded a nut to it...and it broke again with a minimal amount of applied torque.

So, now I need to drill the stud out.

Does anyone have an exhaust stud drill plates I can borrow?

Thanks.

weld the nut on again. i have done many broken studs this way. use the next size up nut like a 3/8 weld it hot and fill the nut. let it cool then unscrew it. if you cant get it that way drill a hole deep in the bolt extra deep then hammer a torx bit in and unscrew it. if the torx bit breaks pound another one in and un screw it.(why you drilled it deep)

Get a bolt extractor set and a powerful drill. Ive had to use mine a few times

Wish I would have had the knowledge to do this last fall, would have saved me over $350.

I'm not using a bolt extractor or easy out. If the thing breaks, I'm super fawked.

Squid, I recall you detailed how to do it with the flange when I originally broke the thing. I still have that in mind. I would just be more comfortable using the drill plate.

For all my bolt extraction needs I recommend this system: http://www.ridgid.com/Tools/10-Screw-Extractor-Set/EN/index.htm

It isn't like other extractors most people have used.

My thought with that set is that I would still need an effective means to guide the bit...unless I'm wrong.
