If you're able to do the work yourself, it shouldn't be to expensive, still bl**dy annoying though

A little trick I've found often works is to drill a hole in a length (300mm or so of 25mm X 6mm) of mild steel at one end, so it will fit over the broken stud. Then preferably with an Arc welder weld the mild steel to the broken stud. The heat generated from the Arc weld helps in releasing the stud combined with the leverage now available from the now attached mild steel. Don't go mad with all that leverage, but using WD40 or similar try rocking the mild steel backwards and forwards, as in undoing and doing up the stud only a small amount, just enough to release the seized stud, then you can undo it as normal.vtr..al wrote:Well i have took off the head tonight and the piston and valves are both fine![]()
