justinklumb29 Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 title says it, i was taking out the studs so i can get the cases powder coated and one of cylinder studs snapped off, i was using as easy out to get it out and that snapped off as well. How do i get it out?? Quote
locogato11283 Posted April 22, 2005 Report Posted April 22, 2005 first off, why did u take them out? they shouldnt need to be removed to be powdercoated. they only need to be taped up and there shouldnt be any PC in there anyway. anywho, i would just say fuck it and take it to a machine shop. last month when we were putting the cheetah cub cylinders on 01bansheeke's motor we snapped both outside rear studs. one i just drilled out and retapped. the other i tried an easy out type deal on. it snapped and we fucked with it for hours. ended up takin to a machine shop where it took them 30 mins to get it out.

justinklumb29 Posted April 22, 2005 Author Report Posted April 22, 2005 the guy who was gonna powder coat it told me to remove them, i will stop at some shops tommorow thanks Quote
01bansheefox Posted April 23, 2005 Report Posted April 23, 2005 I broke mine off inside, just drill it out I didnt even have to rethread it, the new stud went in pretty good. Quote

How do i get it out?? You can not re-drill a broken easy-out, as it is as hard as a drill bit... Machine shop.... "EDM" Edited April 23, 2005 by RBD Quote
boonman Posted April 25, 2005 Report Posted April 25, 2005 You could try a carbide bit, but, you will break that off from using a hand drill anyways. An EDM would work splendidly. A machine shop should fix you right up with their preferred method of removal. This sort of thing happens more often than you think on pieces. I just love getting broken taps out. They're fun...
