I've had a look about the forum and there was a number of discussions about studs and using copper bolts but nothing about removing a stud.

In this case I managed to get one removed but the other bolt just chewed up and I couldn't thread another bolt on to it as all the thread on the stud had rotted away. So I had to cut it to get the pipe off, this left about a 1/1.5 cm of stud sticking out from the engine block.

So anyone know any good tricks for removing it, other then a helli coil after lots of drilling time.
I could get it to a mate about 20 miles away who will mig something to it to leaver it out, but I need to arrange transport. As it can't be rode as it has no MOT, so I would like to see if there is a way I can get it out myself.
