How do you get those bolts and studs out when it's looking dire?
I saw a technique on another forum the other day:
- Put a nut over the hole and plug weld it, then attempt to remove.
- Put a washer over the hole and weld all the way around the inner edge, then weld a nut to the washer, then try to remove.
Noticed a possible exhaust leak on a friend's car today in a photo I'd taken, and decided to throw this out there to all the bright engineering minds, and see what they come up with. Nothing's too obvious. So I'll go in again with a third:
- Drill out the centre carefully so as not to damage the threads, then poke and pray and hope for the best.
