Sorry to hear about your trouble. If you don't mind paying for shipping, I would be happy to "attempt" the stud/ezout removal for you. It really will depend on how bad the ezout is buried in the part. Unfortunately, ezouts can make the whole situation worse, when you drill through the stud and insert the ezout, it tends to spread the stud out into the threads. Making it more difficult to remove the broken portion. I usually just weld a bolt or washer (depending on where it's located) to the broken stud, then add additional heat if necessary. They usually come right out. If I can help you, let me know
