Hi guys,
one of the studs at the join for the 4-2 section has snapped
(in line with the tradition of everytime I work on the car!)
it seems like the studs are welded in or will I be able to hammer it out?
Here's a pic stolen from MadMaxx's megathread:
Any suggestions would be mucho appreciated.

I think they're pressed in. Hammer might do it, else grind it off, drill a hole, use another bolt

They aren't welded in and just screw out so you could drill it out easily
don't panic dude! Lol

Yea it wound out, thanks for that bristol_bb4. Couldn't get 2 nuts on it though so had to take the mani out and stick it in a vice and wound the stud out using a huge monkey wrench and a blowtorch which was quite fun.
I've replaced the stud with just a bolt that i've cut down to size, should be alright
