[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 425011, member: 7076"] If you have a small welder, you can weld a 1/4-20 nut onto the stud that is sticking out. Usually, if you weld the nut and then immediately try to unscrew it, the heat from the weld is enough to allow you to break it free. The key is to get good penetration on the stud, and get it cherry red. If it doesn't work, and you twist the nut off again, you can always drill it. I've had a lot of success getting bolts out of aluminum this way. About 80-90% of them come out. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
