Dear, the parts I just sold paid for that part ;)  Group: Members Posts: 1,568 Joined: 26-December 02 From: Williamsburg, VA Member No.: 16  |
There is about 1/8"-1/4" of threads above the head?
Can I remove this myself with standard tools (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

Ummm...
heat the stud/nut red hot to remove it??? Nah, that will BREAK off in no time.... what I did in the past, weld a nut on cleaned broken stud, just enough to make a bolt out of nut and stud.....then heat the side of the exhaust port where the stud is thread upward...just enough that it's a bit too hot to TOUCH, not melting or RED HOT....this will make the aluminum expand faster than the steel stud and pronto, use the socket, extension and ratchet....it WILL come out...oh yes, a punch and a hammer to jolt the stud first then heat the port side... I had a customer who didn't want to take the engine apart when the exhaust stud broke off and it's absouletly flush to the stud hole that it was no way the nut or anything could be welded on. So we haul the engine to a place (cant remember now) where they had a tool very much like a plasma cutter but damn, it evaporized the broken stud! The stud hole was so clean that I was amazed and just retapped it along with new stud.... so, i hope this give you different option to correct your problem. Oh yes, if you have never taken a 911 engine apart, get help first cuz it's way beyond the simple T4 engine..... good luck j |
