Easiest way to remove a Sheared stud (manifold/cat)

[Andy_J]

Trying to get my decat on while my gearbox is out and the subframe is down but had to shear the heads off the nuts to get the cat off.

I now have the remainder of 3 studs (about 10mm long) coming out of the cat flange on the manifold..
I've left it soaking WD overnight so will have another go after work.

I've also got a dremmel if i need to get in and try drill it out but thats my last resort.

Any ideas?

I have no oxy-acetalene btw..

You mean you've just got the studs sticking out, with no nuts on?

Decent pair of molegrips on it really tight?
