I have also had success every time with simply using vice grips on the stud. If it is long enough I have also placed two thin jam nuts on a broken stud, and turn out the inboard nut. Sometimes with that method you have to run a die over the stud to repair the threads to get the nuts on.

All these methods mentioned has worked for me at one time or another.

Sometimes ya just gotta try until one works.

I just did this. The vice grips and stud puller didn't work until I heated it, them it came right out. I think the heat melted the factory threadlock.
