Hi Joe, I've removed plenty of broken studs without welding a nut. Heat them red hot and
grasp them with visegrips and they will usually come right out. I would run a tap in each hole to remove any rust and to clean the threads. Hal

Welding is definitely the way to go. If there is some stud above the block weld a nut to the protruding piece of stud. If the broken stud is flush with the surface or slightly below I like to put a flat washer over the stud first and weld it to the broken stud, then weld a nut to that, the flat washer helps protect the block surface and allows you to get more heat into the broken stud. You can quench the welded stud & nut with a little water and then work it out. May take more than one try. Good luck. BTW stainless steel rod works awesome but others will do.

Weld a 5/8 hex nut onto the remaining stud. While it is still pretty hot hit it again with pb blaster. Let it cool for 3-5 minutes. Then "work it " back and forth, vice grip works well, and it should come out. The heat does most of the work.

Welding a nut on is by far the easiest way to get any stud out.

If the stud is broken just below the surface you'll find the weld metal does not stick to the cast iron and does very little damage.

I don't use penetrant on these. The heat from welding breaks the rust seal and the nut gives you a place to get on it with a wrench.

How about heating them with a torch? Hal

Try using a drill bit about 1/32" smaller than the stud size. Drill it straight. Then use a small angle chisel and hammer to "push" the remaining metal into the center of the hole. Once you have started pushing the metal into the center, the rest of it should follow. Be careful not to damage any threads.
