Weld a nut on it. 2 advantages - 1} you then have a much bigger fastener to turn giving greater leverage and 2) the heat from welding will travel along the stud and help loosen it. wink
Great idea near the fuel tank. You'll find out if there's any small leaks pretty quick.. ?? rolleyes

Job done thanks guys. One come out with the extraction tool easy enough, the other had to be cut and drilled. And yes, I did make the schoolboy error of snapping the drill bit in therefurious

Managed to get through with a carbide tip but will need to tap it but that should be straight forward. Oh the joys of ownership and maintenance
