one of my exhaust manifold studs broke :( (extractors->block)...
what are ur methods for removing such??
i haven't really had time to get round to it, but i was planning on drilling it and then using an allen key to twist it out...
however, i don't know how i'm gonna fit a drill in there :(
any inexpensive ideas?

it snapped off (well, practically fell off) after i installed a new set of extractors.

i had that happen to me too. i bought one of those screw extractor (they have a more technical name that i don't remember) things from mitre 10.
worked a charm.

how much did that set ya back? is it a drill bit kind of thing?
how did ya drill into the block?? doesn't seem like there is much clearance for a drill =\

used an airtool thing from courtesy of a friend, the drill bit slotted into that perfectly. it's very small.
do they have right hand bend attachments for dremel tools? that'd be able to do the job...
otherwise, i don't know what your other options are... is there a bit of the bolt sticking out still? maybe vice grips would be easier.
btw, it's the head ;)

i'll have to have a good look at it when i can be bothered to pull my extractors off again *moan*...
