broken thermostat housing stud
#2
all three is bad luck
broken because of corrosion
if the engine block side of that housing for the thermostat cover
can not be removed or purchased
two options
if a bit of the stud is workable
heat up or weld a nut to what is viable
then undo
or loc-tight two nuts to remaining thread to undo carefully
if broken at the base of the stud
drill them out straight ... tap a new thread and helicoil kit
three new studs
