need a loan of a tool

[gordonv]

I know it's a late request, but is anyone going to Valhalla, who has the following.

I still have one broken stud for the exhaust, couldn't remove it, even after heating with a torch, just can't get a grip of it to move it.

I don't know the name, but it's that socket style reverse thread.

It's called a stud remover. I would try an electric paint stripper heat gun and a pair of vice grip pliers. To bad you didn't mention it to me I would of had a look at it. 30 years off undoing rusty bolts and studs on ships.

I used a single cylinder heating torch (don't know the gas name, but like a Oxy/Acet torch), got it almost cherry red. But the vise grip just wont grip nicely.

I've looked for the socket, if I find it, I'll post the link.

How much stud is sticking out?

Your going the wrong way around. Heating causes metal to expand. By heating the stud you are making it tighter in the hole. You want to WARM up the cylinder head with the torch around the outside of the stud. DO NOT heat the cylinder head to cherry red . Do a circle around the stud trying not to get heat on the stud. When the cylinder head is too hot to put your hand on  then try undoing the stud. Another trick is to  spray some WD-40 or oil lubricant  from an aerosol can on the end of the stud once the cylinder head is warmed up. Do this outside because you will get a lot of smoke The oil will take the heat out of the stud and will also wick  up the threads of the stud to help loosening it. Sears sells the rotary stud remover or  KLM  or KTM Tools  should have one

This is what I was thinking of

It may be too big or not grip small enough

Don't know if that would work. But I've had great luck with these.

Well that looks like a better mousetrap. I've never seen those before

If you know the exact size u can get just one for 5 bucks

I have that one from Princess, it's quit big, and the stud quit small, but I haven't tried it yet.

Will take your advise on the heating.

The set from Summit was the one I was thinking of. If no one local has one, it might be a good investment. I know it will fit. All the force stays inline, no worry of bending the stub and snapping it off at the head.
