G'day John. Nice work on getting that broken stud out. I rounded off the nut on my Mitsubishi ASX turbo and had to cut the bastard off with a hacksaw blade. Then do your trick to remove it once the turbo was off. Anyway, good to see you have a win. Cheers from downunder 🍻. Regards, Aaron.
Getting a bit drafty round the ankles John . Removing broken studs is always a pain . Drilling by hand is always a gamble for for getting the hole spot on , You should gradually open it up till you can just get a Taper tap ( 1st ) to pick up the thread , but don't go all the way thru , you will find that the thread is a little slack and running a tap all the way will only remove more metal .
Was that one of the modern ford turbo's? I've done plenty of them,bought a adjustable angle plate and clock the face and do them in the mill,drill a small pilot hole and pick away at them with a small end mill,works a treat.
Broken studs seem to be endemic to turbo flanges. Is there no way to minimise this problem? Is it down to bad material choice for the bolts or incorrect torque values?

Exhaust parts always seem to love to weld themselves. Especially Stainless fasteners.

Another save John but I think you should check your socks for inturders 😂👍
Inturders- Freudian slip?

I have barking spiders in my shop too. When they bark, their breath is horrid. I never can see the little stinkers though🤔
Hi John, what grade bolt did you use on that flange, or does it really matter?
Hi John, what torch & gas are you using for heating up the manifold?

If you had farted at the beginning, you could've corroded out the broken stud. 😊
I was forced to drill and re-tap recently ... Lots of cursing, I am afraid
Thanks John
