Default ***HELP!! Open stud stuck in the back of my block/ EJ coupe

hey you guys. . . i've come to the end of a road. . i dont know what else to do. . i tried to use a cheap oil feed line kit. with an open stud and a brass t fitting. . the problem is that i threaded it in. . then bought a new oil line kit from stealthmode. . so i needed to take the t fitting and stud out. . well the t fitting came off. . and now the stud is stuck in the back of my block. . i have tried so much to get this thing out. . i have pictures right now of me drying a bolt onto the end with JBweld. . i also tried using two nuts interlocked. . unfortunately there arent enough threads sticking out for that. . so i even tried to JB behind one nut but that seemed to fail also. . .i also tried using an "easy-out" BUT there is such limited room behind my block that i cant fit anything back there to un-twist it out. . . THE STUD IS DIRECTLY ABOVE WHERE YOU WOULD PUT THE OIL FILTER. i need any other suggestions you have on how i can get this out of my engine!!! so i can run my turbo civic!! THANKS FOR THE HELP!!

here are the pics:









sorry for the bad pictures. .

I still don't understand what you did? Why is there a bolt in there and what is that brass piece? Where you trying to ghetto rig something?

You should be able to put a wrench on it and twist it out slowly. Put the wrench on the brass not your bolt.

You could always try grabbing at it with a vice grips and twisting it out, but make that your last resource. And as someone else said, grab by the steel not the brass.

You could try using a punch to make an notch that you could use the punch against to get it out?? You only need to get it to move about a quart to a half turn then you'll be able to wrench it out. I work as a car wrecker and deal with rusted on nuts and bolts all the time. That's usually what work best for me on large bolted on items.
