Stud Extractor to get barrel stud out

I've got 1 barrel stud that I can't get out with heat from a blow torch and the double nut method. I know I could get a nut welded on but I was wondering if anyone could recommend a decent cheapish stud extractor.

Any recommendations please?

Try using the extended cowling nut threaded on barrel stud 3/4's of the way, then fit cowling m8 nut and tighten up........ Hopefully this may work.

Can also be used on 6mm studs if you can find extended 6mm nut

Though I'm sure I only paid about a fiver for mine, mind you I've had it a few years.

got a couple of the ones that Corrado has put pics of up , to fit differrent sized ratchets, these will pull most studs if any is showing atop the casing. if its snapped flush,dremmel a slot in it, get a screwdriver bit in a ratchet (7mm) , put some heat and WD40 on it a few times , heat cool, heat cool, etc, and it"ll come out. ive got studs out of cast iron engine blocks like this, an ally one is easy. patience is the key. just walk away when it gets complicated.
