How much stud is sticking out? If it is just a nubbins (technical term)
, you may need to weld a nut to it. The heat from welding also helps break
the corrosion.
If there is enough, you could double nut it to extract the
stud.

Subject: [alfa] small stud removal
Over the weekend I
managed to shear off on the the studs holding the TA bulb
in the the coolant
jacket on the my GTV. Surprisingly it did not leak at
full temp with the
remaining stud. I do have new studs which I purchased
years ago for just a
situation and I'll be replacing both at the same time.
These are pretty small
studs (3 mm dia.?) in a very constricted space for
tool insertion and
manipulation. Has anyone tackled this problem with the
engine in the car ?
Thanks,
Bruce
