There’s always that couple times at the shop where they over torqued even after instructions.
Luckily, didn’t use Loctite, so hoping to get this out myself. It looks like you didn’t drill into the stud, but used a dremel and screwdriver? Any reason not to drill into the broken stud?
Love the new surface at Chuck, just amazing. PB‘s are still above 2:00 as it’s about my fifth or sixth time at this track (slow learner), but still stoked.

No loctite? Huh. Well I guess it should come out easier then. (My understanding was that you should at least use a dot of blue loctite. Red is verrrry difficult to break when you’re fighting a broken stud.)
I was using 12.9 steel studs which is harder than the regular 10.9 steel used in most studs. It’s not so easy to drill.......sigh......I really hope those days are behind me. 10 days in of hard tracking on the Core4 14mm setup and all is good.
