Please help. Exhaust stud

I've probably welded 30 nuts to this one stud and it will not come out. What do i do?

The drill isnt working either, I have the extractor inside the hole i drilled and i broke the T handle trying to twist the stud out. Im worried if i keep trying it will snap the extractor.

You may have to order a stud extracting kit that comes with a guide plate, drills, etc.

Damn, you are a trooper! Good luck. I went with the stainless studs and nuts years ago and they have held up great.

Thanks, i can't say i had a good attitude about it the whole way, but it's good to see the light at the end of the tunnel.




This is about half of what this single stud took. At least I'm getting some welding practice...
