Wonder how well this works on exhaust manifold bolts..... Got a broken one just recently, and its bothering me to get it out...
Lisle Bolt Extractors
I broke an intake bolt during removal. The bolt was corroded due to the aluminum/cast iron dissimilar metal situation that exists between the intake and the head. Fortunately the bolt broke right below the head & I was left with an inch or so of stud that was frozen in the threads of the head. Needless to say I wasn't amused. Tried vice grips & a stud installer/extractor with no sucess. It looked like I would have to drill the #$&*! thing out.
But........ I found a set of the Lisle 19250 Broken Bolt/Stud Extractors at my local Sears (where else). Sweet tool. You select the correct size extractor for the bolt/stud, hammer it on, put on a socket & wrench (impact preferred), and turn it right out. No drilling, no cursing, no coniptions. Very Sweet. But you need enought stud to grip with the tool for it to work.
The tool has splines on the inside of the tool that dig right into the bolt and hang on extremely well. No fuss. Hammer on, torque off. Great little tool. Highly recommended.

If you have enough stud remaining I think it will work great, but it does need sufficient stud to grab onto. Use plenty of Blaster every day for a few days prior to trying to remove it. The Blaster works great for me to free up frozen bolts, especially exhaust bolts. And get a impact wrench (Air or hammer). It should take it right out.
Heh, it looks like it busted off flush.... And I just checked the kit last night, definitely need stud sticking out to use that kit. Guess it's gonna be a bit harder for me... But PB Blaster FTW!!!:mullet:If you have enough stud remaining I think it will work great, but it does need sufficient stud to grab onto.

find a small welder and weld a nut onto the broken stud. as soon as the cherry red goes away and while its still good and hot. back it on out. i do this with all my broken bolts. peice of cake. i use a small wire feed welder. if u r carefull u can do this if it broken off flush with the block

New question for this old thread. Anybody ever use an extractor for a stripped out torx? I cant get my TPS off the throttle body because of a stripped out screw.
Get yourself a Grabit.. They're like $8 each at Home Depot, or $16ish for the set of 3. They work wonders on most stripped out screws. You use one end to drill out a divot in the head, then use the other end like an EZ-Out. It's reverse threaded and bites into the divot.
