OK, I have 3 broken exhaust studs on my 2.7 six. All but these three came out easily but these 3 were never going to move! I spray (for several days) with PB blaster, used a torch and nothing worked. Finally I bent one on purpose because I was at my wit's end and eventually broke it. I went ahead and cut the other two off in preparation for drilling. I have drilled out the originally broken one and tried using an "ease-out" but no luck (of course). I'm at the point where I can actually tap the hole for the original thread size. What size tap do I need to buy?
