Frost used to do some left hand drill bits, which were great for removing snapped studs often they would just undo as you drilled, don’t know about you but I hate using extractors cos I have had them snap too which compounds the problem

I've heard of easy-outs but never used one, they wind in and supposedly pull the stud out thanks to their reverse thread, the problem might be getting a hole started in the centre of the stud in which to put it
Like you I've used extractors when there's been a bit of stud to go at, but never really got on with them
Other options seem to include heat and possibly welding a nut onto the remains, if theres enough stud to get at.....

Hi
I have snapped a number of studs off in pumps and ag stuff! I used to do it on a regular basis as we used to use alot of air tools, and being rushed etc, it has to happen!
I used std extractors and drilled them out and helicoiled the hole. I to have never used easyouts but have heard that they too are a little snappy!
Welding a nut or a bolt, on sounds good if you can get onto it, but cover the head etc, for spatter.
Cheers

For gawds sake don't snap the studs again... 
Its a bit excessive but why not change all of the studs and then you will get an even load?..are new studs avaliable? |

despite being torqued down correctly, in the right order, and so on. The stud threads were nice and clean, so its not like dirty threads could have given an incorrect reading on the torque wrench even. Perhaps it is a duff gasket?
