If you, or a friend, is a welder, there's a simple way to remove broken off studs even if they are broken below the surface of the block. The rod flux protects the thread and allows you to essentially weld directly to the stud and then to a nut you hold in position. The welding heats things up and the nut gives you purchase to unscrew the broken stud. The few times I've used this method have worked amazingly well. See for one example of this:

Very common issue in the Hemis, I bought one anyway.
Have seen many vids on Youtube regarding this, haven't clicked on any cause ignorance is bliss for now.

Your post reminded me to put the extended factory warranty on the thing...$1540 for 8/85000, a smoking deal from Ziegler (sic?)
Thanks, Bud.
Call Red Rock auto whatever....one of the better shops on the West end, I have heard.
