G'day guys, I need some help with removing a broken exhaust stud.

Top row - closest to the firewall, I don't have a drill small enough to fit between the block and those 2 air con pipes, so I need someone with a right angle drill, apparently there are people who drive around and do this professionally.

Anybody in Perth able to help me out?

Vehicle is sitting in my driveway in Swan View, not moving.

Here's a pic of the thing.

Stud is snapped off approx. 5+mm inside the block.

Yeah but I couldnt see anyone that could come do it in my driveway. The car is in a thousand pieces and isnt rego'd, so I can't move it unless I somehow re-assemble it with a really bad exhaust leak, and try for a temporary movement permit. Just as hard as pulling the whole engine out and doing it myself, but I'd rather just pay someone $100 to come do it for me in 2 minutes flat.

Stupid Ceffy.

Got the f**ker out with Adam's help (Living Legend that bloke is)

Dispenced about half a small can of WD40, drilled the whole way through the stud, then tried a screw extractor (the round windey type), which didnt work, I had a small set of different type of extractors that are like a square set, you hammer them in and twist. Worked like a charm.

The drill ended up being off centre. The regular extractors were slipping at both ends, so advice for anyone follwoing, or anyone who ends up in this thread in the future (searching, google, whatever) is to use the squarred wedge in type.

    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
