At least you have a piece sticking out. I hate when they break flush at the
base. Any way the easiest is to weld a nut on the end. Find someone with a
MIG welder and ask them to do you a favor. Sometimes some heat is also
needed to get the threads free.

Subject: Broken stud

Hi to all,
I'm still not sure what's the best way to take a broken stud out.  This one
has four inch of stem left and it's in the corner with the least space.
My question is; what are all the methods that can be used in the process,
what spray can help, etc.

Best wishes to the New Year to all,
Zoltan
