- If you can find a way to hold some Coca-Cola on that area, it's miraculous at things like this. To Prevent a recurrence, I recommend using "Never-Seeze" or any other good copper grease on all exhaust

- One thing I like to use is a left handed drill bit. Many times the heat and vibration of the drilling will loosen the broken stud/bolt. Even if it doesn't, you thenhave a hole to tap. Maynard _______
