Ive tried using vice wrench, sprayed some PB but it still wont budge. Will this stud even come out? Losing patience now...please help. Thanks.

 

 

Vice grips and a big hammer, or vice grips with some sort of a leverage adder. . long pole or something. If those fail, add heat to the equation and it's sure to come loose.

 

just go get a Tap that is 12MM x 1.50 I think it the size or take another of those to the place to the hardware for sizing and buy a tap and rethread it.

 

Heat is your friend.

 

Gonna get torch tomorrow and hope it budges. Thanks guys.

 

You can get a lot better grip with a stud remover. It tears up the threads on the stud, but it always works for me. This link is for a Craftsman, but you can get a K&D at NAPA for about the same price.

You could also try using 2 nuts on the stud, if the threads aren't too messed up yet. You would thread on 2 nuts, then put a wrench on the one closest to the engine, and use whatever leverage you can. The other nut will keep the first one from unscrewing off the stud.

 

If you have access to a welder, crossthread a bolt to the stud then weld it on. Did that a few weeks ago, allways works.

 

The stud remover "buttsjim" recommended is my favorite, along with some heat & PB Blaster.

 

Weld a nut to the end of the stud. The nut will give you something to grip, and the heat cycle from the welding will break the stud free. Works everytime.

 

first i did try using two nuts but it failed because the threads were too far gone. Used heat and pb but still no luck. I will use a stud remover next and hope it works. Thanks guys.

 

A good trick with the vise grips is to grind a flat on each side of the stud, so that you can get a better grip. I still advise the stud remover, but there's a possibility that grinding and vise grips will work.

 

I've used this trick before, and it worked for me.... or if you have a lot of patience and hate your wrenches, you can file flats in it and fit a wrench to it.... I've removed several rusted nuts like that...

Good luck!

 

How much heat did you use? heat it about half the stud up til it turns cherry red then with your vise grips, turn it on out. with a smoke wrench, you can never go wrong, as long as you know what you're doing.

 

Stop wasting time and weld a nut onto the stud. Seriously, once you've done that you will NEVER go back to any other extraction method. Someone you know must have a welder.

 

FINALLY!!!!!!!Success!!!! Borrowed a stud remover from work and it came loose with one good turn. But now the freakn threads inside are striped a little. When I go to put the new stud in, it's sitting off and goes a little ways in and gets stuck. Guess Ill have to rethread now. Thanks guys for being so helpful.
