So I did some more drilling all the way to the end as far as I dare go compared to another stud I had out, then I decided that I still had plenty of space left so I stepped up the drill bit size and used the next sized extractor up.
It worked a treat :naughty
Hammered the extractor in as far as it would go and got the grips out
New Stainless Bolt from Vauxhall
Manifold back on with new gasket
Not been able to start it up yet as got to refit the radiator and put some more coolant in it first which |I hope to do tonight
You should have been a dentist lol, well done.:clap:clap
The right tool for the right Job, as Scotty once said in Star Trek lol.
I wonder if there is a moral to this story?
Had you used a nut splitter on the nuts, maybe the stud wouldn't have sheared, and all it would have cost is a new nut.
Just thinking aloud lol, you can't do it to every nut, but worth thinking about.

The worst thing is Rustic, it was when I was re tightening them to fit the new gasket, I was so happy with myself for removing them all without snapping any and then I did that, my heart sank when I felt the ratchet give
It's a learning curve, improved my skill set and made my tool set better equipped in the process, who can say that was bad luck? These things come to test us, it's just important we pass the tests :thumbs

Thanks mate, I was relieved to say the least :bow
I did and it didn't remove the stud on it's own but was very sharp and didn't show any signs of snapping and I hope it loosened it somewhat, the stud did come out fairly easy :nenau
