I have a 1983 650 Nighthawk with the outside stud of number 4 exhaust broken off. I have not been able to unscrew it with vice grips of any kind even after soaking it with PB Blaster. I'm not that concerned. I didn't notice it was broken off when the was engine running. However I will check at a couple of auto parts stores today for some sort of extractor and Ive been following along to see what you come up with, Graham
