2. Cut internal threads by using taps(the internal thread should be left hand, if broken stud is a right handed
thread and vice versa).
3. Insert a bolt of the correct size and threading and as you screw the bolt, the stud will get extracted.
4. Insert we can make use of stud extractor.

METHOD 2:

1. Place a bolt with head on top of the broken studs and weld it taking care not to deposit on the welding
material on to the threaded part of the hole.
2. By applying a wrench over the bolt head, the stud can be extracted.
