so anyway i'm bolting the exhaust up and i notice that the studs are broken on one cylinder....so i need to replace the studs.....
dad got the MAPP torch out ( woah) and i told him too hot. went and bought a propane torch, heated the head up till the flame went out (gust of air) so around 5 minutes for both studs...they wont budge is it kosher to buy a (x)MM drill bit, chop off the stud to level and drill and tap out to (x+1)mm? |

I just lived through removing a twisted off a crankshaft harmonic balancer bolt.
It was a grade 5 hardened bolt and snapped off with about 125lbs of torque. Yes, it was my own damn fault..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) I used one of these and i'm sold on 'em. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I soaked the bolt for a day before extraction. Go slow, be patient, and follow the instructions. http://www.drivewerks.com/catalog/ShopCart..._CAT332_pg9.htm (IMG:http://www.drivewerks.com/catalog/images/tools2003/LIS-62900.jpg) Best of luck. |
