one of the guys helping me with my swap thought he would do me a favor and put my header on without my knowledge. when he told me i was like thanks, what did you torque them too? "i don't know man, there hella tight though" . so i check and they are probably at about 100lbs each and the end one isn't even there. i was pissed to say the least.

How do i fix a broken header stud? can i back it out with one of those reversed drill bit things?

 

yes

 

pre-soak it w/WD-40 prior to extracting it. It will work.

how much thread is left?? if theres enough try to fit 2 nuts one on top of each other. try to stay close to the top. hold the lower nut with a wrench and tighten the top nut. then take a wrench and start turning the lower nut counter clock wise like ur taking it out. the whole stud should come out that way. let me know how it works out.

 

thanks guys, that is a BIG releif to know it isn't fucked. i'll try it first thing in the moring.
