Broke off stud and ez-out

[ksmith]

I broke off a hub stud and an ez-out trying to get it out, does anyone have any suggestions to getting it out now? I messed with it for a while but I really don't want to mess up the threads so I thought I'd let it sit and maybe it would happen by itself but it didn't work. Thanks for any input.

Easy outs are hard really hard metal, a swift hit with a punch should break it.It may take a few wacks ,just be careful not to bugger anything up.

How much is sticking out? If any, you can weld a nut to the end of the stud, make sure you let it cool down, give it a whack with a hammer(brass if you have one) and unscrew.

Which hub? A wheel hub? Those don't thread in. Those are pressed in from the back side. Use a hammer & punch & knock it out. Ez-outs are very hard steel. You will have to use a diamond tip drill bit to get it out.

he is talking about the hub studs.  good luck getting that thing out.  welding something to it that you can turn is about the only thing to do.

I would try to bust up the eazy out. I have done it before.
