I broke a stud off when changing them out. I drilled out the hole and tapped to the next size (1/2" IIRC) then made a stepped stud which I later found out that you can buy. Doesn't matter, i would have made mine anyway. I used my mag drill as jack suggested to drill and tap the hole to ensure that it was straight. Using the head as a guide would work as well. No real need to monkey around with help coils or inserts. You have to drill and tap it anyways, just put in a oversized base stud.
