i use left handed drill bits, ive heard you can use a welder no matter how deep it is and build up the weld lil by little but havent tried that.

Actually I was shown this on our 2005 Dodge diesel truck. The manifold studs sheared from the manifold shrinking. Machinist for HTA came to our shop. He tig welded a bubble onto the stud. Set a nut on it . Tig welded the nut to the bubble cooled the nut quickly with a air hose and turned them out with his fingers . I tried this on other broken bolts and studs in cast iron and aluminum. I have not broke out the drill since. If you can't get to it with a drill. This is the way. I've been doing it the hard way for many years.

I also heard there is a special arc-welding rod for this purpose. Its made to build high so you can weld a nut onto it. I hear they run about $10 each. Cheap when you really need one.
