broken steering knuckle studs

[MoabMike]

I have an 87 blazer with a 10 bolt front axle. I have broken 2 of the 3 studs flush with steering knuckle. What is the best way get them out?

Center a nut over the stud, and weld the center of the nut to the top of the stud, this will give you a nice hex to get some torque on the stud, and the head from the weld will loosen the bolt from the knckle.

yep i second that trick. if no work just get another knuckle from a junk yard. easyer.

Thanks guys. i think i'll get another one. one of the studs was recessed a little. i couldn't get a nut in there to weld. I drilled it and when the put an extractor on it, it broke off inside.
