Any good tips out there on how to remove stubborn studs out of the cases/cylinder joint?
-
use a proper stud removing tool that joins to a half inch drive ratchet its the only way to do it properly . Iain
-
Thx Iain, where do you get these from?
-
also pre lube with a releasing agent of choice ;) ie yeild, penetrene, super releasing agent Reducteur H-72
-
Also consider small amount of heat in conjunction with above, Cheers J

hope this helps if your going to take out studs do it properly as vice grips or multi grips will slip and f up your job . $25 odd bucks . Iain

They are OK but I prefer this type, http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/STAHLWILLE-12617-3-roller-6mm-Stud-Remover-German-Made-New-/301121388934 You can only use them on the one size though ;) unlike Ians one,you can also get them in kits with 3 or 4 different sizes :)

The one Smed showed is the one I use. It paid for itself the first time I had to remove a stubborn square barrel Maico stud (Anyone who's ever owned a squarie Maico will know what I mean ;D)

So how do ya get em out then ?, The old 2 nut method works ok on non stubborn ones most times but some need a stud remover which unfortunately can bugger the threads in the process,new stud time ;)
-
need to change shops Lozza ::),the idea is to lock on the unthreaded section of the stud so you dont fork the threaded section,the stahlwille types the go,i have kokusan,basically the same style,the internal tapered rollers lock on the stud,whichever way you want it to turn,handy for setting studs too, :P

Heat the aluminium and heat the stud red hot. The stud was fine it forked the thread in the cylinder, had to make stepped studs and tap the cylinder out.Don't worry Mick I have never taken anything back there, the only threads that were still good were the 2 with no marks on them.
Long studs are frightening to remove, hard to tell if the stud is turning or twisting.
