Taking one of the nuts off, the stud broke.
I welded a nut to the end of the stud so I could get a socket on it, but she doesn't want to turn. Feels like it will break again. So I've been hitting the stud with PB Blaster. I could heat it with a torch. Hopefully it will come loose, but I may end up having to drill the thing out and tap the hole for a step stud. Grr, right before WCR (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Any suggestions? |

i had a welding stuff salesman at work the other day who actualy had something interesting ,if you break a stud or bolt and the rest of it sits deep in the hole, you usualy center drill the remains of the bolt("center "is a city in albania) tap in an extractor, twist and watch it break (the extractor that is) the you go buy lots of beer. not so with this shit ,actualy a electric welding(arc ) rod covered with graphite, you just put the rod in the hole making contact with the stud and just fill the hole to the top with weld then mig on a nut and twist. the graphite will form a layer betveen the weld core and the treads of the hole so they are undamaged ,he actualy pulled a M12 stud sitting 4inces down (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) been welding for some time ,but never seen this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
