exhaust manifold

Posted by mss3020 on May 29, 2007 at 18:32:59 from (216.170.36.92):

Well I got myself into one NEED HELP. Replacing the exhaust manifold gaskets. Had one that was half gone and was a tad loud. So started the tractor up and got it all nice and warm. All the bolts came out except one. the head on the bolt was kinda rounded. So I cut the head off the bolt and took the manifold off over the bolt. I worked and worked to get that off. Nothing. So I thought Id cut stud off even with head and drill it out and hopefully retap. In the process of drilling my pilot hole ...broke the bit off in the bolt. So now what do I do. Is there a drill bit that is tougher than normal bits to drill the bit out of the hole. do I drill a larger hole and weld a stud onto the head and leave it that way. Any and all wisdom is needed.

thank you,
