Look for someone that specializes in removing broken automotive studs and bolts. They are mobile and bring an arsenal of tools to remove a stubborn fastener.

I had an auto dealership break several studs while removing an exhaust manifold that required head removal on a turbo diesel. They wanted $6,500 for the R&R. I found a stud removal specialist and he removed the broken studs without removing the engine. He charged $550 for removing 3 broken studs.

Check with hot rod, auto racing and Harly shops for a mobile stud removal specialist recommendation. They are difficult to locate because they do other things and stud removal is a sideline.
