[Shop-talk] A problem I've never seen before......

[John Innis]

Never had this happen, but I think I might try a stud remover or a lug
nut remover.  I have seen these used to pull off lug nuts that were
badly rounded and wheel locks where the owner had lost the 'key'.  But
you'd want to make darned sure you got it out otherwise it would make
the situation worse.  You could also try to chip out the insulator and
use a internal pipe wrench or nipple extractor.  These work pretty got
on softer metals, but not sure how they might fair on steel.
