I was replacing a rusty radiator bracket and the stud rung off. . How do I fix this? I guess I can drill what is left of the stud out but how do I get a replacement stud? Please help.. Thanks

So you broke the stud on the radiator support? If it was me I'd just grind the remaining piece down and drill a hole in the support, buy a bolt and mount same way as oem. You can't buy another stud it's not pressed in like a wheel stud. If you don't want to hold the bottom to tighten it then get it tack welded.
