Re: Sheared Stud Problem

This worked for me in several occasions, one on a broken tranny bolt on
my land rover and the other on a sheared motor mount bolt on a cortina.

Use a hardened punch to  make large "dimples" at 12,3,6,9 oclock on the
face of the sheared bold.  Next turn the punch at about 30 deg to the
face of the bold and tap the bolt at right angles to the direction of
rotation.  Change dimples as the bolts works around.  It is time consuming
but it has worked several times for me.
