hpwdhatch Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 i just broke a head stud on one of my jugs and i'm wondering if i can run my banshee like this. i tried taking it off but it wouldn't budge any suggestions?? Quote
SAVAGE420 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) No, don't run it like that, unless you want to redo your top end in the first 10-15 mins of riding. Just use pb blaster, let it soak in and use 2 nuts to get if off if threes enough threads for 2 to fit on, which it doesn't look like there is. If not then the heat from a torch is your friend.

toolman Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 Weld a nut to it let cool from the welding a few minutes and it will come right out. Done it many times for myself and others. Use a 6 point socket or boxed end wrench. Quote
SAVAGE420 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 Torch will work, get it HOT though. And use something that will clamp on real tight to the stud to spin it out. :beer: How the hell did you break it off in the first place man? Quote
