Found it to be even more effective welding a flat washer on first. Then weld the nut to the washer. Using a slightly smaller ID washer than the fastener helps protect the aluminum.

I had an 04 V10 that had several broken bolts. They all broke off with part of the stud sticking out. Didn't do the welding, only used an easy out. Finally got all of them. Cleaned all the threads, new manifold and gasket, and out the door.....quietly! The exhaust can do a job to the aluminum, so it's best to fix the leak as quickly as possible. You did a great repair!

The nuts break lose early due to lack of fusion or wire/stick strength. Hammer the the weld flat as you create weld pool on broken stud. It helps break slag and unseize bolt. Tac on washer to weld stub, then a nut. I was able to snatch studs out using a makita impact, the studs were so nasty a impact was needed to get any movement. Do not use 60xx rods mild steel. Not strong enough when dealing with heavy vehicles.

The reason it doesn’t come out easy is because the studs have a shoulder that when the factory installs them the shoulder runs down into the threads. That’s why they don’t come out easy for a 2 turns. Watch when you install the new ones. The nuts will further run the studs in farther.
