[keith888]

Hi Guys,

The exhaust on the 888 is now off (probably for the first time in 12 years) but despite a weeks worth of soaking with penetrating fluid I still managed to snap one of the suds on the horizontal cylinder. I've got about 5mm of the stud sticking up to attack and would appreciate advice re the best way of trying to shift it (please don't suggest trying to drill it out as experience has shown I'm c**p at doing that!). Anything that avoids having to helicoil it would be great. Would welding a nut to what is left be a good idea ie would the heat help loosen it?

Thanks,

Keith
