[alfa] Epilogue: Removing Broken Engine-to-Transmission Stud?

[Kevin Trent <trentkc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

About two weeks ago I asked the Digest how to remove a broken stud:

"... one of the four studs which mount in the engine block and extend 
through the transmission to hold the two units together.  This particular 
stud is the one above the clutch slave cylinder, and it is sheared off such 
that a) the break is not flat but angled; and b) there is no protrusion 
from the engine block, and the stud remains are slightly recessed."

Based on digest suggestions, I used the method of welding a nut on to the 
broken stud and simply unscrewing the remains.  On stud described above, I 
welded the nut on the starter side rather than the flywheel side, and 
access was pretty good.  After the stud remains were removed I ran a bolt 
through the threads (from the starter side) and the new stud screwed in easily.
