Just wondering what I can do to remove these three studs, going to replace them with some better stainless steel bolts and nuts from my local Ace Hardware store...
1 is snapped and all three have bad threads.
Was thinking of picking up the stud removal tool from Harbor Freight but not sure how it's going to turn out. I have the studs soaking in Aero-Kroil for the time being...
when they are as rusted as yours, you might not have a choice... reality is that it took a lot of twisting to break that stud and if you twisted enough to break a stud but the stud didn't come out, it probably isn't going to come out no matter what you do...
do as Army says - cut the stud off flush, drill it... unless you want, you don't even need to tap it, just put a bolt in from the back... might be a little more difficult to tighten, but still easier than rethreading...
