I usually manage to drill them out wit solid carbide drills. just needs a bit of care, over the years I have removed loads of them . Easy outs I think are quite useless and would never use them . A favorite trick on site was to drill a hole and use a allen key socket hammered into the hole ,this grips the sheared off stud and allows you to work the offending item in both dirctions to free it up |

Thats pretty much what I was thinking I have some left hand carbide drills that I could try when he is ready he's going hunting in about a week and does'nt really want to pull the head off his quad he's worried about snapping the exhaust bolts too. I told him to try cleaning it with acetone and use that silicone sealer for valve covers its a small cover so it should work, remember the old chevy valve covers that lifted the ends when tightened! In the mean time I may try a mock up in some scrap aluminum. |
