Wildcardracing Posted June 15, 2008 Report Posted June 15, 2008 I just Broke off one of my head studs how can i pull it out to replace it? i tryed plyers but its not budging any tips? How much of the stud is sticking out of the cylinder? They get corroded in there pretty bad sometimes. If there is enough to get som vise grips on it then try those. You can tap the top of the stud lightly with a hammer to break the corrosion free, be sure not to damage you sealing surface. Quote

Tuesday may be pushing it. Any good machine shop should be able to exract it for you. Are they the longer studs (pro-design cool head) or factory studs? If they are the stock stud then you may have some luck at the stealership. Maybe someone local to you has some on here, post it up that you need a set ASAP. Try tapping on it a couple of times, it may break it free. Quote

If you have an easy-out set or know where you can get one, I would go that route. Quote

Any chance i can get a stud at a hardware or shoP? in stock ive been told you can get them at fastenal,but not 100% sure you can also get stock studs from vitos, there in allen park down by detroit. there was also a set in the for sale section here on the HQ a week or so ago....might want to look there too.

ratman Posted June 15, 2008 Report Posted June 15, 2008 ive had to heat the head b4 to get them out, worked well. Do not heat the stud, just the cylinder, and not much cause aluminum melts quick, just heat the cylinder around the stud Quote

Bansh-eman Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 you might try some penetrating oil too. spray it down and let it soak in then tap the stud to try to loosen any junk Quote
