Putting in the header pipes this afternoon- driver's side goes right in no issues. Discover one of the studs on passenger side is stripped. Of course I didn't realize this when rebuilding the engine.
Any ideas on how to back the stud out of the head? Not a lot of room in there to work... TIA- search function didn't help much... Found a Lisle stud removal tool but don't think there is enough room to fit it in there. Trying to think what would fit that would grip the stud tight enough to twist it out. When removing the nuts a few years ago in the beginning of the restoration (yes, it's taking that long) a couple studs came out with the nut- wish that would have happened here!! |

when heating quenching often works, heat it then quench it with cold water, repeat several times. then do the weld nut trick.

when heating quenching often works, heat it then quench it with cold water, repeat several times. then do the weld nut trick. The weld nut trick also adds heat to the stud, so you want to weld first then let that cool to anneal properly then do the base heating thing... done it many times with success. When it fails, it really sucks cuz it tends to snap the stud at the base. And no, I'm not explaining that to your wife... That's your job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |
