    get the old stud extracted, and put a new stud in there.
    So I tried getting the old stud out of the housing but it broke again! It just doesn't want to come out. I know a guy with a tap set. Hopefully we'll be able to get it out that way.

    I would not drive the car in its current condition.
    I really have no choice but to drive the car. I have to go to work and I cant get a ride cause no one i know gets up at 4 in the morning.

    keep breaking it. it will eventually come out in pieces, then go at it with a tap and die set to clean up the threads and carefully thread a new stud in there.

    why would you do something like this on a car without being 100% careful? the studs arent that easy to break. and now you have no way of getting to work.

    how much stud is in there.
