hey i have a 97 escort with a problem it has a broken stud in the hardest place to get to right below the fuel filter so i cant weld it and i drilled it out but theres no space between the block and the fire wall so i had to do it at an angle and cat fit a bolt in it so i need a new safe idea what do u guys think

i am assuming that it is one into the intake, correct... if so the safest would be to take off the intake and remove the stud that way...

have you thought about a reverse drill bit? I know the first one was on an angle, but it may help to break it lose... if not, you may have to remove everything in the way... lots of work for something so small...
