Hi All.

I removed the exhaust today including the front pipe. One of the bolts snapped in the head. I drilled right through the bolt and then used a stud extractor. The stud extractor snapped and the bit left in the head is so hard my normall HSS drill bits won't even scratch the metal.

Please people have you any ideas. Are drill bits available that will drill through hard steel?

Will I have to remove the cylinder head and get this dealt with by a machine shop?

One idea I had was to use an Oxy Acetylene torch to melt it. Only problem with this is I dont have the equipment and will this melt the head first?

Heellllllllpppppppppp!

Thanks

Tim
