[QUOTE="perry, post: 1453755, member: 9409"] After going through all this the long way w a 6.8 V10 I’d highly recommend buying a kit from promax or manibolt. The weld method might work great for a block that’s out of the engine bay or if you’re just lucky on which stud it is and you can actually reach it. In reality I could reach very few and just twisted welds off. Out of the 10 or so that we’re busted I think I managed 1 with the weld method. Space is at a premium. I was able to remove motor mounts and loosen tranny mount on my F250 enough to jack the engine up against the upper cowling to gain room to work. Mayhew stud extractor was a life saver. Air operated 90° drill And reverse drill bits also a life saver. Good luck, hoping for decent weather and not many broken studs in your endeavors. I’d replace all factory studs! [/QUOTE]
