welding a nut is always the best option. i see no point in a washer. sometimes it is nec to drain the coolant if the broken stud is by a water jacket (broken stud won't get hot enough). second thing is to crank up the heat. pretend your mig is an edm. the more penetration you get on the stud the better. get it super heated so it will shrink when cooled
