Hey Abran- that is exactly the one I'm waiting for Amazon to deliver. And they have it for $31. Some of the older posts had recommended it also.

 

Shoot! Thought I was bringing some new info to the table. I only saw the cam lock looking one mentioned.

either way, good luck!

 

Those extractors could be the bomb due to centering itself on the stud, BUT as long as you can slide the stud all the way down through the tool to get to the base of the stud... I can't see, or read any description on the links that says you can? I've never owned that style so I don't know

 

Tig a nut to the top and use a air rachet. Air rachet pounds in short burst where the hand to much to quick.

 

The one I linked will get down flush with the base and is made for using with an impact.

 

More of the same type of tool, but being Snap On probably more expensive

Success! The ratcheting extractor worked like a champ. Had been doing PB blaster spraying every day, but bolt looked rusted upon removal, no sign that the PB actually got down into the threads. Easy to use, simple, effective - what's not to like. Took the busted bolt out in about 2 minutes. Couldn't have been easier. Took my time, smooth fluid movements, using the 3/8th ratchet and a short cheater pipe. That cost me about 4 days of worry, trying useless other solutions and the grumbling of my roomie that my truck was stuck in her garage. Anyway, highly recommend making this part of your tool kit. Got the Bolt out, then went to other side and took the RH head off, looked fairly good. Now for the clean up and reassembly.




Extractor small enough to get #1 head bolt out.

 

Awesome...it looks like the Rover Gods smiled on you!

"no sign that the PB actually got down into the threads". Next time (no matter what bolt is broken, & hopefully NOT SOON) try heating with a propane torch. The little bit of heat wicks the oil down the treads. That head bolt would have been wet when it was removed.
If you don't like to use heat then as you advance the broken bolt up still hit it with more PB Blaster. Either way, very glad it worked out for you!

 

great job man. Glad it worked out for ya

 

Right tool, tenacity, perseverance, job done, great job
