Starwriter Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 If you don't intend to reuse them, clamp the stud in the vice and twist the case half. This gives you a very good feel of how much the stud is twisting. As mentioned above, heating the case around the stud helps a bunch.

BigRed350x Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Just heat the bolt up until its red hot, then walk away and let it cool for a bit. Once the heat gets down into the case it will break up the factory loctite stuff and you can remove the stud with a double-nut. Methylpropane or oxyacetalene will get it hot enough to kill the factory loctite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Map gas! Get it cherry red. Give it a few taps with a hammer and then use the double nut trick or some sort of vise grips or stud puller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
