One of the studs holding on my header broke off, and I need it extracted. None of the stud is sticking out of the hole. Where should I go and what am I looking to spend to get this done?

 

Yikes.

F that ish. Your problem is you don't have a turbo manifold hanging off it.

Any mechanic can get it out for you if they have the correct setup. It'll be friendly with your head aswell.

Don't you work for a dealership?

 

drill it out, if you do it carefully enough you can get it out without damaging any of the threads.

 

i paid 25 to have it done at poor tonys transmissions on azalea garden rd

 

I agree. You're already there, so just ask around a little to find a good tech you'd be comfortable with doing the work. Talk to him and see what you guys can work out. I'm not a OMG TYPE R guy, but it is a nice car so I know you want the most professional work you can find and afford.

Drilling is going to be a pain, and impossible I would imagine, without a right-angle drill due to clearance.

Edit - keep me updated in NC mayne, I need to have the same thing done

 

ehh didnt think about that, my engine was out when I did mine.

 

When I broke the stud off in my alternator, I never even got the alternator out the engine bay, I drilled with a regular cordless drill till it snatched a little, the hit reverse and it came right out. If not, Anyone with a drill and a bolt extractor bit (We sell them at Autozone, my second job for a few bucks) can get it out easy

 

I've talked to a few guys, and the ones that would do it, don't have the right tools. I'd do it myself with a drill and an extractor, except for the fact that there's NO room to get a drill in there.

 

Go to sears and buy an extractor kit for broken bolts. I know its tight to get in there, but can you take the header off atleast?

 

Yeah I can get the header off, thats no problem. Its just the room between the radiator and the engine.
