Could always go to a sports shop and purchase a couple of shot putt and bore some holes they should be around 16lb each

Yep have one of those little hammers just the bees knees for my small work area.

Glenn In my expierance heating exhaust hardware sometimes works if it does not thebolt become extremely hard and differcult to drill afterward I would heat as alast resort if you have room centre punch and drill to the largest size stud extractor thats possible, use the straight fluted stud extractor such thatr are used on pipe as the spiral ones will expand the soft steel into the threads, some times are called brass fitting extrators. If it indeed it is a bolt still drill and punch out. hopes this helps. Regards Mark

Thanks guys Cheers Mark

Thanks Guys for your answers, I will try not to heat above 500F What would the expansion rate be for mild steel. cheers Mark
