[QUOTE="Joes03Stang, post: 1551932, member: 31472"] So we were able to fix it today. I did not take photos of the process, but should this happen to anyone in the future. There was enough of the broken stud that we hooked a pair of vice grips to it (very tightly) and was able to carefully wiggle in all directions until the stud pulled out. Then we found a bolt in my random collection of nuts and bolts, and went to the Advance and got a tap. We tapped threads thru the hole and had to drill out the hinge a little for the size of the bolt. Once done we added a little glue to the threads and were able to screw the hinge back in place.
