and this is in tunning because? You need to tap it and pull it out. get a extractor set! and make sure you post in the right area you might get a little more help in the right forum!

buy a good extractor!!!!!!!!!!!!! cant stress that enough. snapon sells one. if you buy the cheap home depot extractor it will break off in the stud necessitating that you pull the head and take it to a machine shop. buy the snap on extractor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
