How To?

How do you get the old head studs out.. im replacing them becuase they were stripped. they are like rusted in there.

Turn two head nuts together till they are really tight and use a wrench to turn the lower one till the stud come loose. Might have to spray WD 40 or something on the studs and let it sit for a while if needed.

I was wondering that also. 2 of the oem studs need to be replaced for a cub setup and we snapped one using vice grips. best of luck to you cuz i have no idea.

if there trash maybe you could weld a nut to the top .. give you something to grab.. and get some pb blaster spray let it soak a lil.. if that fails myabe heat the stud with propane bottle just don't get it too hott and screw up your cyls..

i also did the propane method and no go but i didnt use the PB.

pb blaster is the shit!! i think motion pro makes a tool that gets the job done without fucking anything up.

I always use p

I always use pb blaster where I think I might have problems removing something and it always does its job.. Good stuff!

PB works good, however Aero Kroil is the best. It is a little expensive, but man it does wonders. Hit it with some Aero Kroil and let it sit for awhile, and repeat. Then weld a nut to the stud, but I wouldnt weld it at the very top, try at least half way down the stud. If this fails you need to bite the bullet and take it to a machine shop. They shouldnt charge very much anyway.
