Broken Fan Stud

Hi Steve,
I was changing the belts on my 1990 c-4. When tightening the 3 10mm(i think) nuts on the rear pulley, I over tightened and broke off 1 stud flush with the outer face of the pulley. The car seems to run fine with the two nuts holding the pulley.So, since these studs are part of the fan, can the stud be removed with an easy out, and replaced? Or would it have to be drilled out and replaced? New threads tapped? Or helicoil? Also, what do you think about running the car as is? Really don't want to replace the fan if this can be fixed.
Thanks,
Steven

Steve,
I looked up the fan hub online Part #: 964-106-051-31-M100, and it does not have any studs with it, but the 3 holes are threaded.
So, is this the right part?
Thanks
