Hi all
im in the process of removing the swiss cheese exhaust system from my
84 7 passanger van with only 20 k miles. so after using a chisle and
center punch to cu the nuts off of 2 studs and thinking im golden the
last bolt after soaking for 2 weeks in PB blast snapped off2 threads
exposed from the head. so now i have a forzen partial bolt in the head
of the # 1 cylinder upper. the question is what should i do to remove
it?? Mig something to it and beat on it with the heat from migging and
the extra grip that i added i just turn it out right?? what ive done is
wire brushed it to remove all corrosion and dirt then soaked with more
PB Blast waiting for me to come up with a grand idea to remove it. any
suggestions?  or FAQ pages? thanks Jonce
