Those nasty studs
Ted how did you go with your broken studs..
Mine had 1 broken stud, on removing the other 3 (after soaking in penatrine for about 2 weeks) I managed to snap another. I then decided to remove them all and replace them with Stainless studs. the threads in the head were so damaged by the original rusty studs I just Helicoiled the lot. Mind you my motor was (and is) out of the bike.
Consider that the Stainless studs will not be as tough as a cap screw and may only be as tough as a mild steel stud.. Point is they break.
I had to drill and collaps my broken studs. If you use an easyout be very careful. I expect it won't work and of course if you break it in there the job becomes much larger.
