I haven't had a chance to try it yet but the last time I had one break on me my 
uncle got it out for me. He drilled a hole thru the stud and keep making the 
hole bigger till he could see the thread and was able to get it out with a 
punch. After you get the presser off it comes right out. If you break an ez out 
off in it you can't drill thru it.

Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Colortune and Exhaust Stud Extraction


Two things - anyone have a morgan colortune in the MD area I could
orrow? 90% sure my bike was jetted by the P.O. and is running rich,
ut I want to verify before messing with the exhaust.
Secondly, speaking of the exhaust - one of my 8 exhuast studs is
roken clean off just below the surface of the block. I neglected to
o anything about it when I had the engine out of the frame, and would
ike to replace the studs before swapping exhausts. I tried an EZ-out
ut it was probably the wrong size or I didn't drill far enough and it
ad no purchase, just didn't grip.
I've read one of the most sure-fire ways to remove siezed bolts is
ith a stick welder and a special rod. I have the first, but not the
econd and very little welding experience. I'd be worried about
ticking the rod to the threads. Anyone have any experience with this?
r know of  a good welder who'd be willing to do the work with the
otor in the frame?
Thanks,
Dave
