Default Re: Broken Header Stud (header to Hpipe)

It will be a lot easier with the header out. Your sig says you got bbk shorty headers. Those have 3/8"(I believe) studs in them. You can get a left handed drill and (from the h-pipe side) try to unscrew it with that. But in this case, you're probably better off just drilling a hole in it and using an easy out. But if you take the header out, you can come from the other side and use a right hand drill bit. If you can get it to bite without breaking the drill bit, it should screw right out. Since there isn't a lot of room to work with, I'd go ahead and take the header off. BTW, you can get easy outs at the parts store and some of them come with the right size drill bit. If there is enough of the stud sticking out where you broke it you can weld a nut on the broke stud and unscrew it with that. This is always my first choice method of removing broken bolts.
