No doubt getting the last of the broken stud out is going to be a chore, it's never fun. But it's got to come out regadless of the solution you choose. I've had to drill out a thousand exhaust manifold studs that were tempered like glass. It nearly always sucks.

Good luck

Got any tips on removing such bolts? Any special drill bit? Grade 8 steel is not a steel I would take my 'steel' bit too. I realize the quality of this metal. What would you recommend anyone?
