This forum is a fantastic wealth of knowledge. Several wks ago someone posted trying to weld a nut to a frozen twisted off stud to remove it but couldn't
get penetration into the stud and it kept breaking off. Someone else responded and said to weld a washer to the stud first for better penetration then
weld the nut to the washer. Well I had been trying to weld a nut to a broken muffler stud on my Grand sons motorcycle engine and having the same poor
results. So this morning I tried the washer trick and bingo out it came. I wish I knew who gave that great advice so I could thank them but perhaps they
will see this and get some satisfaction that they were able to help someone they don't even know. Thanks Don
 
the advice came from me. for years, when i had a stick welder, i used the nut but when wire feeds came along it it just didnt work. a guy told me about the washer trick and so i pass around the knowledge!
 
Well your advice sure helped me I thank you and my Grandson will be happy also.
 
On 10 MM brake bleeder screws drill down to 90 degree bend and then start at bottom and weld up to top. place washer,weld , then nut and weld it to washer. Might work on a stud too.
 
If they"re really difficult to get out, let some candler wax melt on the stud as it cools. It penetrates between the threads to loosen and lube...never failed me yet.
