Oh I am patient and also ( as h.i.d. will confirm ) bloody stubborn! Think I was lucky tho. I offer the above very humbly and make no guarantees it would always work, it just happened to work for me this time with my particular bike. just hope it helps, even if its only 1 person it was worth all the stress and research!!

Continuing to celebrate, on to the next snag tomorrow no doubt  :)

Good news, and well done. It's always easier if you end up without having to machine the thing to get the casting back to useful.

What catches out people on these is the sealant Honda used at the factory as it sticks so well but does usually end up with the stud having very little corrosion inside the casting wich is good.

Even if you intend to remove a complete stud from exhaust port most people go with the two-nuts method and they often snap just at the end of the threads anyway, so you have to make sure you get a good hold on the area below this to be able to apply enough torque to get a release of the sealant. Mostly vice grips don't work either as you can't get enough bite especially if the jaws are a bit worn.
