I snapped the top off of an exhaust stud a few days ago. There is thread left, but not too much. I have tried to double-nut it out, but there isn't enough engagement to get 2 nuts lined up and tight.
I tried some red lock-tite, and let it sit on a nut on the stud, but it came right off. I need some tips or tricks to getting that stud out. TIA |

Is the engine still in the car and runs? If so, run it and get the head warm, try to get a grip with a wise grip. If engine is out, heat that area of the head with a heat gun. If the stud is really stuck in there and liquid wrench isn't helping, I don't know what else than heat would let the aluminum let go of the stud.
