Replacing a broken stud - The HARD way

[OzFab]

Thats an awesome idea Fabroman. Making up that guide is what I call thinking outside the square. Might have to urmm... borrow it!

If I didn't want anyone to "borrow" the idea, I wouldn't have put it up here Go for it Rusty

you might ask the auto parts guy also.
I find with a broken stud/bolt, a dab of weld
will do. The difference in expansion of two
materials will usually loosen the threads.
Plumbing supply wharehouses carry a acid flux called Laco. If you apply it and heat the bolt,
the flux will wick into the threads. Works great/stinks like he!!.
