- 2001, 2.7L Boxster, 5-speed, 94k mi. I broke one of the studs while replacing the water pump. The good news is, it's the stud that has the easiest access from the interior of the car, with the access panel removed. The bad news is, I can tell the stud probably broke flush along the block. I have seen stud extraction tools but I haven't used one before. It seems as though one would need A LOT of working space to properly use stud extraction tools. I'm afraid the best way to tackle this project is to drop the engine for optimum access... which I'm not capable of doing due to lack of equipment and time. Has this ever happened to anyone? If so, is this a job for an average DIY guy such as myself or should a pro handle this? I attached a photo, the red arrow indicates which stud broke Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
