You could always try the stud removal bits available from any good tool shop.

Try soacking it in lube first, or just apply a little bit of heat to it. Failing that you will have to drill it out and then just re-tap the thread, maybe to a bigger size.

Looks like you have an aluminium bolt in a steel component. Not the best as this has probably caused you the problem with bi-metallic reactions.

Shouldn't cause a problem though, by trying the above. Next time either use good grease or steel fixings too.

next time?! not like i assembled the car!!!thats renaults fault not mine!!! :lol:

Wasn't suggesting it was your fault buddy. Just refering to the 'next' time it gets rebuilt.

if the hole you have drilled is central - just work your way up with the drill bits until the thread breaks away from the housing.

You could try welding a nut to the stud and undo'in it that way ??
