s'fine yorkie! - just making sure by buying the rights tools they can be used in the future .... who knows, my SV skills might be handy for the ecosse sv'ers in here at some point or anyone visiting up this way who gets stuck...

This is an example of the one I've got. With that one you use your ratchet and turn it anti clockwise - the further you turn it the tighter it grips onto the stud.

That style is the best for this job IMO.

You can also get these, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sealey-Stud-Remover-Extractor-Installer-6-19mm-VS7232-/390226448823?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment. They're a good tool, but you don't have room to use it on the left hand stud (on the curvy anyway - don't recall if the pointy is the same). You need space for that whole tool to rotate.

As YC says it's easy to work out how to use them - usually by crushing your pinky finger in it!

I agree socket type is better than cam type one.

i take it this is the cam type? - looks like a crazy bit of kit to use! - looks like a novelty pencil sharpener!

yorkie_chris · 23-08-10, 06:27 PM

Yes that's the cam type one. Only one real point of contact.

The socket type grips more effectively IMO and is easier to apply to SV studs.

They both have their place, the socket types grip better but don't always fit in the space available, bear in mind both will grip well enough to snap an SV exhaust stud if it really doesn't want to come out.
I only ever remove a stud if it is completely unusable, the great majority of occasions I just clean the thread with a die or thread file and resuse it - the required torque is not that great so there's no requirement to risk snapping a stud by removing it.
