I have 2 broken header studs. Drilled both out, and broke the extractor off in the first stud. Any suggestions would be great or if anyone knows of a good machine shop in Las Vegas
do you know any good welders. If so have them build the stud back up until you can weld a nut to it then try to remove it. This may take a few times but the heat from the welding usually loosens the stud and it will turn out.

Thats a good idea. I've heard of it being done. I'll have to ask around. Thanks for the ideas
have you tried an easy-out kit? go get a good set and try those. just make sure you don't snap off the easy-out in the stud. since they are made of tool steel they don't drill out very easy. lol.
