Removing broken head studs ?

Two of my head studs are broken. The one above the #2 cylinder, and the recessed one above the the #3 cylinder (broke deep inside).
I tried removeing the one above the #2 cylinder by welding a bit on the end and using plyers/sokets to remove it, but that didn't work.
What do I do?

Since you're in SoCal, just to go rimco. They can have them wire edm'ed out for a few bucks. I've sent porsche 356 cases to be serviced, since their studs rarely come out. Nice work, only one case saver required after 3 cases.

any competent machine shop should be able to get a broken stud out, they aren't that big of a deal

I bought a broken stud/bolt removal set and got the one that broke flush with the case out. I'll have my mechanic re-tap and replace the two studs. Thanks
