Head stud removal??? By Gti (Read 549 times)

How do I get the studs that hold the cylinder and head on the case out of one case so I can place them into another?

They screw in the case so maybe using a vise grip plier low by the case and wrap the stud with something that will not damage it and unscrew them. or you can try screwing on TWO nuts on using the top one as a locking nut and try unscrewing the second one.

I use a stud installation/extractor tool. Also you can use the two nut method. Put two nuts on the stud and tighten them together. Use the bottom nut to loosen the stud. The trouble with this method is if the stud is in real tight it may damage the threads on the stud or the nuts. Most auto parts stores should have a stud removal tool. I got mine at sears many years ago.

Alley is right one. Just clamp a vice grip on and get it turning. a few minutes with a file will clean up any burs that need it but typically I never need to do that.
