Default Re: Broken head studs

The washer and welded nut trick works pretty good, I heat it up and then hit it with water,
it works very well. That said I have gone to drilling in the mill if I have more than one
to do in a block. I had a Desoto block the owner had tried to remove his own studs and
had broken six of them off in the block. If you use a mill with a DRO (digital readout)
you can accurately hit every stud. I use an end mill to flatten the broken stud off.
Then center drill the stud, then hit it with an end mill to get the stud out.
I did all six in about a half hour.
