We often use heat to loosen up stuck bolts/things. What's nice about using the welder is that it not only attaches the nut but also super heats the broken stud so it's easier to get out. I stripped the allen drain plugs that were in my block. I welded a smaller bolt on to each one and they backed right how.

Nice job Gary. I'd almost swear you must live in Oregon after a move like that! lol
