[jlagnese at massed.net (John S. Lagnese)]

Can you run it through instead of backing it out?

I know we've just had this big sheared stud thread, but I've tried to get
this bolt out with no luck. It's sheared flush with the brake carrier,
which I have removed from the car (not too easily I may add, I thought I'd
have a second sheared bolt for a while there). I managed to get a decent
sized hole drilled into the stud thinking I could get it moving with the
extractor I have, but no dice. (I stopped short of the torque needed to
snap that at least) I've heated to glowing, Kroiled, and waxed, and
repeated. SO tell me what you guys would do, I have basic tools (my
collection of sticks and rocks), no fancy drill presses or anything. Can
you buy the carriers for less than the value of the car?Thanks in advance.
