Starter solenoid ground stud

Folks, just a heads up if you DIY: I was replacing my starter, and when I went to remove the starter solenoid ground wire, the nut was seized and the stud broke off. No biggie, it was getting replaced. We'll I installed my new Bosch starter, and when connecting the wires, the stud for the solenoid ground snapped right off. I was able to use a small self tapping screw where the stud was to connect the ground, and hopefully it holds up, but what an ordeal. It's very hard to "feel" when the nut is tight, especially when using extensions, so the best bet is to watch the lock washer flatten out and STOP!!!
