Message	Right angle drill and use a left hand bit (reverse direction than the norm) Soak the broken stud as much as possible with PB Blaster, it will help it come out easier once you have the easy out in place. Use a short bit as it will allow you more room to work. Should take you about 15-20 minutes, possibly longer depending on how high you have the car in the air. If the car is on a rack it allows you to put more pressure on the drill. '91 TT Stage ??
