I have tried a couple of methods for removing the head studs from the case.
Double Nut rarely works. I bought the NAPA stud removal tool, and while it is the perfect tool when you have room, it does not work in such tight areas as our middle head studs. I looked for all kinds of "stud removal tools", but most of them are for broken studs, not for removing studs without 'munging up' the threads. What does everyone else use? A search does not turn up a simple 10mm stud extractor that wont tear up the threads. Stu |

QUOTE If you don't believe this than go ahead and try it for yourself. Instead of making some smart ass comment. rtalich - I still just want to understand. I AM NOT exaggerating when I say that I have tapped thousands of holes in Steel, and aluminum. Some by hand, some with a dedicated tapping machine, and some with a tap chucked into a screw-gun. I have a 20 lb box of old used/broken taps to prove it.... If a hole was tapped with a 10mm tap, how is it possible to damage it by running a 10mm tap through it? And I am fully familiar with the difference between starter taps & bottom taps. So just trying to learn here. Stu |
