What ever you do, don't use those thin tapered extractors. Twist, snap, now you've got a hardened steel insert in the bolt.

put a nut on top of it and weld it to the nut.

Mrmerlin

use some PB or Kroil on it with some torch heat use wet rags so surrounding areas dont get damaged then weld a nut to the top of the stud then unscrew it.
This will work better if the coolant is drained as the aluminum will heat up faster and expand more with the welding heat

welding a nut on is not a bad idea. i will have to see if i cant find a local guy that can do that for me.
