case stud removal
jBernard:
Tearing engine apart to make sure she is in order right now. The head studs came out pretty easy via the double nut removal method with an open end wrench and a small breaker bar.
However, inspecting the case studs, looks like one or two have some bad oxidation and one is pretty pitted where it mates to the case. Figured i'd remove these at the same time and put some new ones in. tried the same method to get them out and they wont even budge.
Whats the trick on these? they are normal threaded correct? Any tips would help out greatly.

sandblaster:
Soak with a penetrating oil several times over a day, then use heat...
A stud removal tool is nice as well.
jBernard:
thx, will grab a stud removal tool and try the penetrating oil as well.
hopefully dont snap one off in the case!

how bad are they? why take em out? just leave em in while you SODA BLAST the cases

use a torch & heat the case right where the stud goes in, use a temp gun & dont heat past 250 degrees. you can use a pentrating oil while doing this just make sure its something that smells nice while burning
