Renate, if this special tool is a stud extractor, my advice is proceed
with extreme caution. They are made of a very hard material. If the
extractor snaps, which is far from unknown, then you have a major
problem because, unless you are using tungsten carbide tipped drills, no
conventional high speed steel will touch them.
If it was me, I would be looking at drilling a pilot hole part way into
the stud and using a drift , located in the pilot hole, to knock the
remainder out, or removing the hub and using a hydraulic bench press to
push it out.
Hope I haven't put the cat too far into the proverbial pigeons !!!
