Depends how badly its stuck, but you could weld something to it, or slightly less extreme superglue some mole grips to it. Depends what you've tried.

Weld a nut to it mate and undo it that way

 

[clio carl]

not really other than the garage, most decent garages have such a tool for removing snapped bolts ect , other then that cutting it out completley n welding another in

 

[BROCKYS_172]

the garage said weld a nut onto it and undo it after that if that doesnt work can u drill them out ???

 

[iimushroomzii]

If you cant get it out by welding a nut on, you'll really struggle with easy outs, worth a try though, need to drill down the center of the bolt and wind the easy out in which should let you get it out. I wouldnt try this until you've tried welding the nut on though

 

[BROCKYS_172]

welding a nut should work i would imagine its such a easy job but the nut is soooo tight

 

[iimushroomzii]

It'll come out mate, it wont seem so tight if you weld a nut on then get a breaker bar and socket on the nut

 

[BROCKYS_172]

ok il give it ago fingers crossed will keep informed

 

[Bondie]

[BROCKYS_172]

[BROCKYS_172]

I agree,

1st option : weld nut onto it
2nd : stud extractor
3rd : Drill

Its not a big problem so dont worry about it
