broke an ARP head stud, pics... now what? I had just finished up doing a valve spring and head gasket swap, when i was torqueing down the driver side head to 65ft-lbs i forgot to reset the torque wrench to 22ft-lbs for the top row 
. it was on #11 stud nut, the first one on the top row that broke off.
My question is what do i do now? how do you pull out a broken head stud?

before you use visegrips get a stud puller it'll cause less damage. I know you are not trying to save the bolt but sometimes they get stuck and you want to keep as much material as possible in case you have trouble. You don't want to have to bust out the drill do you? If you are lucky you'll just be able to get them out by hand.
