[Shotimes] Drill bit recomendations for drilling out exhaust studs?

It's the Rotozip bit from Home depot, about $11. At Home Depot, it's not on
the wall with all of the drills & bits, but rather on the shelf facing the
wall, where all of the woodworking tools & bits are. I also had to use a 6"
extension on the drill (from the drill bit wall at Home Depot).

When using that bit, do not apply a lot of pressure. It's very hard, and if
it "catches", it breaks. Slow and steady will cut through the stud &
manifold relatively easy.

The site above also has the GM stud info. As I mentioned there, 3" studs
would work a bit easier.

Well of the 4 broken studs I have on my winter beater, I was able to get 2
of them out really really easily using the Lisle Stuck Bolt and Stud Kit
from Sears that Mark N. recomended. But the back 2 don't want to give in and
come out, so they will be getthing drilled out. Any suggestions on a drill
bit for this task? I remember reading a thread posted by Ron Porter on this
and using chevy studs, but I have been unable to find it in the shotimes
archives.
 
Thanks
