1. easy out

2. machine shop. and have them replace them all while your there.

if it broke off flush with your head then take the head off and use some vise grips and take the stud out. if it broke off flush with the cyilinders then you would have to drill it out and get and easy out or take it to a machine shop.

Yes it broke flush with the head. I read on here to pb blast the end of the stud and let it sit for a while, now when I use the vice grips which way does the stud turn to come out? Is it reverse threaded?

 

The one that broke is #4 in the torque pattern, where can I get replacement studs?

 

Thanks

I've removed the stude b4 with some good vise grips. Any local stealership should have the studs or any builder that carrys a lot of banshee parts.

Or take another one out and go to a harware store and pick one up. It is just a Metric automotive stud. Nothing special.

im pretty sure the tread parrten should be the same as the top because when you tighing it you dont want to stud to losen so it would have to be the same way . hard to explain but i hope you know what im saying. lefy losey right tighty

If visegrips dont work take a slightly larger nut and tack weld it to top of stud but cover the pistons and cylinder with a wet rag,let cool off and use a wrench to remove any napa or auto zone should have the stud.Hope this helps :geek:
