Cylinder Stud Removal

<< < (2/3) > >>

hughes:
Thanks for the tips. I am in Elkhart,IN this week and then going to TNN for the rest of this week. I hope here in the next two weekends to remove those studs and ship the cylinder out.

Rowdy-Yates:
Any luck on the stud removal Hughes. When I shipped my cylinder they removed mine for free.

hughes:
I just got back in town this weekend. I am going to remove them this week. US Chrome is doing the replate they only charge 25.00 if I can't remove them.

Hughes, I have several stud removers. They look like a spark plug socket, but inside they have rollers on ramps. Just like a sprague clutch in an automatic transmission. When you turn the  socket the rollers ride up the ramps and squeeze the stud, turning it and presto out come the studs. The only downside is that they are not cheap. If they wont come out, put a nut on the stud first and using the flat side of a ball pein hammer hit directly on top of the stud. The jarring effect will frequently dislodge the siezure. Dont use a carpenters "claw" hammer the steel is the wrong type and will not deliever much energy to the stud.
