Thanks WW. I didn't even think to look in the FSM about stud removal but sure enough, it's right there on 22-12.
I'm hoping I can fit some sort of puller I have over it to press it out. I have several different variations, we'll see.
I know the FSM says not to use a hammer, but you can use two ballpeen hammers to remove a bad stud. Done it hundreds of times!
Simply place one hammer on the broken or stripped stud and use a much bigger heavier hammer to strike the smaller hammer.
Striking it a few times will usually push the bad stud right out.
If the stud is broken off flush with the axle flange, use a large punch or drift tool and drive it out with a big hammer.
The best way is to use an air hammer tool if you have one, it will make short work of driving it out.
No matter how you do it, just be sure and wear some safety glasses and gloves while performing this operation.
