D rubbers need changing and perhaps so do drop links, these parts I have. Alas I have prodded a hole in one of the upper arms so I'll do that do.
Have shot blasted a spare and am preparing that for painting.
I can then go back to trying to remove the stud. I will set about the manifold with a blow torch first.

Am wondering if I should grind the corners off the lower nut so I can get a socket to the upper nut. May have more chance undoing it with a socket then a spanner. What do you think?. I'm still a bit stressed by this incident.

If you have several nuts to try to lock together you will always be able to find two that will lock together IN LINE.

As in my previous post. If the thread on those studs is still good DON'T try and remove them. You are just making un-necessary work for yourself.

I don't think there is enough thread to get the nut back on. As best I could I had a measure yesterday. I was not looking forward to drilling it out but what else could I do? Trikey has now said that with enough heat I may be able to knock the stud out so will try that. I will put a nut on the end to protect the thread while I work, fingers crossed.
If all else fails it will be a replacement part that will be needed.

The broken stud won't knock out as it is threaded.
However drilling it out shouldn't be too difficult.

we have 2 opinions on this stud, threaded and splined

This is the stud and as there is a flange on top it wont unscrew and come downwards, the unit is still on the car.

Splined fits with my thinking. Drilling may be best but will try heating and knocking out.
if it get too stressed then I'll try drilling.

Now that picture is very interesting.

Plenty of room for a nice Stainless Steel nut and bolt.---

Get that drill out and do the lot.---

Looking at the photo Ian I'd hazard a guess that they have been pushed in from the top and are an interference fit and may well be splined.

A combination of drilling out the centre, a bit of heat and a good seeing to with a lump hammer should get the broken one out.

sorry this is not my elbow, Number 6 sent me a picture of one he had as I wanted to look at the top. I Posted it to try and clear what seems to be confusion about splines or thread
