### I have used the acetone/ATF mix in the past - you have to keep mixing it, otherwise the two will separate out and you will get the acetone floating on top of the oil. It will then evaporate off within minutes, before your very eyes! FWIW I don't know why they specify ATF - I reckon any oil will do. The purpose of the acetone is to carry the oil into the nooks & crannies & then evaporate off, leaving the oil in place. I wouldn't bet money on it working with this stud though.

Tip/rotate the engine so that the surface where the bolt has broken off is face up. Coat the broken off bolt with a 50/50 pre-mix of acetone and ATF.
keep the broken off bolt wet for several hours. Drill a hole for an ez-out or bolt-out and see if you can get it out.

I have also used a commercial product called Mouse Milk in a similar manner. I actually don't think it is as effective as acetone/ATF but it doesn't damage nearby paint or discolor the part which can happen with acetone and ATF.
