I snapped the top off of an exhaust stud a few days ago. There is thread left, but not too much. I have tried to double-nut it out, but there isn't enough engagement to get 2 nuts lined up and tight.
I tried some red lock-tite, and let it sit on a nut on the stud, but it came right off. I need some tips or tricks to getting that stud out. TIA |

One trick to try is Heat and paraffin wax. The wax can wick down the imbedded stud and help in removal,
or welding the nut on the stud has worked for me, but let the nut cool enough to hold but still leaving the stud hot as hell, this method has work when others failed. |
