  1. no to easy out, if they snap your in deep shit. they are hardened steel and very brittle. only way is spark erosion which is an engine strip to take to engineers your gonna have to pay someone to do something if you can't get a welder, although they are really cheap to buy and with practise easy to use. I've drilled my snapped studs out but had to use reverse cobalt drill bits as the steel work hardens due to heat cycling. Unless you know what you are doing I'd advise to get someone to do it. I made an alloy template to guide the drill bit straight and to correct depth.
