Default Broken Exhaust Stud
Ran into a bit of a setback hoping someone could give me some information or guidance on my issue...

Just recently removed my header on my 2017 Road Glide Ultra to install new header, got new header on bike and doing final torque on exhaust header studs. Exhaust stud snapped off and broke flush with the Jug..

Anyone have any experience with this happening, how to remove properly and safely? Bikes under warranty also with extended, does a guy try to take to dealer to try under warranty ? Fix personally? Any suggestions or help would be awesome! Thanks in advance.

you can try and turn out with a small pointed tool or pic might spin right out if not center punch it and use a small left hand drill bit should spin right out

Thanks Scott, just trying to decide if I should give it a whirl or not... and what the best option is. Be the ***** if the drill bit broke off as well.

Just went through this a couple months ago. If you just want to get back on the road quick then drill and tap the broken stud for 1/4 20. Once tapped take a 1/4 bolt and cut the head off to resemble a stude. Figure I’ll fix is right when or if I ever have to remove the head.
