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.

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?
