Try using a centre pop to tap the remains undone.

Had the same happen to me, ended up fitting a cap from a spare engine and never had a problem, just lucky i guess

Shame your not closer Andy, I wouldve got that out for you mate. Iv got a set of reverse taps here that would remove that no problem

As the chap above says.

Centre pop after removal and left hand drill. Chances are will cause broken stud to turn out.

The cam caps are line bored but, there bloody accurate, the GMX echange refurb instructions state that a single cap per cam can be changed. So if you get stuck you have an options.

The cam caps are all marked (e.g. L1, L2 etc) and match the specific head (e.g. left or right on the V6) and must go back where they belong (the cylidner has a numebr cast into it).

As other have said, get it in a vic, slot it slightly with a hack saw and try with a screwdriver, if it wont budge then tap it round using the slot you have cut.
