Broken Stud & Torque Questions

I broke the top stud on the LIM that is for the ACV, ****. I'm scared that I'm not gonna be able to get it off, it's soo small. Any suggestions, what I really need is morale support! Second concern, do I have to have every bolt and nut torqued exactly as Haynes says?? Im mean I just get all the nuts and bolts lube up with anti-seize and starting cranking my *** off. That's also why I broke the ACV stud and that brought up this question. I really don't want to invest in a torque wrench...how much are they and is it worth it? Thanks in advance.

get one of those drill bits that you turn the other way that pull out broken bolts/studs.

An OK Tq wrench is ~25-50 dollars. Not a big deal and they come in handy.

PS Good Luck

Don't buy a torque wrench from Craftsman, they won't fix it if it's broke. Especially when they sell you a broken one to begin with... bastards...
