The exhaust stud broke off. It has about an inch showing out of the cylinder (but does not have threads)..
How to remove? I know this has happened before and you will have the perfect solution so I am waiting patiently.. I know these are never easy. Remember, there are no threads left (cannot use two nuts sandwiched together) so I would like to try and get some sort of broken screw removal tool to fix... and would like to find a local alternative so I can fix over the weekend if possible. Thanks for the help in advance, Bryan |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)... Use penetrating oil, in coupious amounts,and let it soak in awhile...then get a propane burner/torch...(you probably got one). Heat the ALUNIMUM ..around the stud...but not the stud...you want it as cold as possable. Use stud removal tool carefully, a little movent at a time, back and forth.(in and out). reapply more penetrating oil at the stud base while the alunimum is hot.*(can/will cause smoke)...GENTLY tapping the stud (vertically to the hole).with a small hammer will help the penetrating oil seep down the threads,,,.REPEAT until it..(finally) screws out. note: welding, (anything) a nut to the stud only makes the stud weaker.(anealed) and far more prone to breaking off. finally, if you expect or want this job done fast...forget it. a competant automotive machine shop can do this job, if they will. us postage to H.A.M.in Agusta Georgia could be your best bet.
