I'm having one of those nights. I snapped off a stud for the thermostat 
housing on a 1275, then I snapped a screw extractor trying to get the 
broken stud out. I had let the stud soak overnight in penetrating oil 
and used a torch to try to break the seal and the extractor was German 
steel not Chinese ;-)

So, anyone else been in this predicament before and find a good, 
inexpensive, reasonably fast way to get this thing out of the head so I 
can get on with what I was doing?

Thanks,

Robert
