| You can weld a bolt on there, someone on here might have a better suggestion tho. At worse you might have a drill and tap a new hole. | |

| dont weld a bolt, find a nut that just barely slides over the broken stud, weld it on hot, I mean almost melting the nut hot. let it cool for about 3 mins and then it will come right out. the welder heats up the stud and will break it loose. | |

| you might be able to bite on it with vice grips. but like the others are suggesting, weld a nut on, weld it super hot, and back it off | |
