Studs comes in two types, one type is screw on and the other is welded on. If it is screw on type, you need to remove it by means of a good vice or clamp, which at times is difficult. You might need the aid of heat or weld something on as a handle.
If it is the welded on type, you need to grind off the welded part to remove the stud. Drilling might be necessary in some cases. You can use a bolt and nut as substitute for re-installation, it is not necessary to weld on the bolt if you are able to hold the bolt for tightening.
This re-installation method is also applicable for the first scenario if you cannot find the correct stud.
