Drill a hole into the bolt, and use an easyout...  Or totally redrill it and tap for a bigger bolt like a M8? |

JML hahah!! Nahh, go to helfrauds, and gt an Easyout kit.. its like a really corse screw bolt thingy, but a reversed thread, so as it screws in, it bite the bolt, and unscrews it. or alternivally make something like this... www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?pid=32758It bolts into the top bolts on the transfer case |

not really had much luck with stud extractors myself, but maybe a bit of lateral thinking that was needed for my tr7 worn threads. might work if all else fails! instead of trying to extract drill a hole use metal compound and fix in place a length of threaded bar and affix a nut instead of a bolt. just an idea never tried it on your situation.

AS Dog say's, there must be some loose mountings somewhere. After rallying for over 6 years i never managed to break any brackets or steady mounts. But we are talking Corina here. Hmmmm .  |

i had the exact same problem with the engine i put in today, the stud/hole had been butcherd by last owner so i welded it up ( with cast rods) and then re drilled and taped it M8.
well done on bending the repair steady with a ultimate steady much respect, thats some heavy footed ness

Get a large nut and hold it over the top of the brocken bolt. Then fill the nut full of weld (mig is best) and make sure you weld hot enough and weld onto the head of the broken stud. Then allow it to cool sufficently and just unscrew using the nut welded in place.
It works because the heat of the weld contracts the stud up to 0.3mm smaller and the nut gives you good leverage to undo it with. Hope this helps

Hope this helps Jamie...... will only work if there is enough bolt sticking out of the block, with mine it sheared 5mm into the hole. |

If it is broken off flush with the block or below the surface then the 'Easy out' is the best option.
Just drill a hole down the center of the broken bolt - as big as you can without drilling the existing threads then fit the largest 'Easy out' that will fit in the hole and unscrew the broken section.
If its broken off with some sticking out of the block - soak it with Plus Gas release oil then put the biggest mole grips you can find on it, as tightly as you can and turn it out of the thread

Hope this helps Jamie...... will only work if there is enough bolt sticking out of the block, with mine it sheared 5mm into the hole. This method i can assure you will work if the bolt has snapped flush. The idea of the weld is to melt onto the top of the bolt and not around it. Give the old welder a shot at it. Just make sure you turn it up nice and hot and allow enough time to cool Jamie.... |
