Re: Removing Exhaust a Stud
well now that we've seen the pic.....
With that much stud remaining ... I'd try the spray and a good (or new) pair of molegrips. With a little patience you stand a good chance of removing it this way. Remove other nut and flange. Rock the stud back and forth being careful NOT to break it. If this does not work MIG weld a nut on to it. Provided you don't break the stud again....you nothing to loose by trying. I'm sure you (or at least someone you know) has a pair of molegrips and a can your favorite brand of bolt loosening solution. |
Re: Removing Exhaust a Stud
grinch,
How did u get on removing this stud? Is it done yet? Let us know. |
Re: Removing Exhaust a Stud
I've got the stud remover (as seen above), and I've been spraying it with some plug gas every day. Though I'm going to have to drop the exhaust off to get to it, else there will be no room to grip and turn the stud.

Re: Removing Exhaust a Stud
another trick I've used in the past is to get hold of a loose drill chuck, or remove one from a drill that you have. Tighten the chuck onto the stud and unwind by hand.
As its the front cylinder you may even get away with just leaving the chuck on a drill. |
Re: Removing Exhaust a Stud
Why is it always the front left stud, the one that is hardest to get to, that sheers? We tried everything on mine, eventually I had to take the head off and drill/helicoil it, which was actually a pretty straightforward job in the end. Just make sure you don't drill to deep and hit the water jacket!
