Exhaust port stud removal

Does anyone local to Burscough/ormskirk have a tool to remove the studs from the engine?

One snapped but I managed to remove using a tool I had from my NC24 but it doesn't seem to fit the others.

Need to remove them and replace with new as the rear manifold isn't lining up, spent 6 hours trying to persuade it in.

I have loads of M6 studding awaking to go in but at the moment this is holding up the whole rebuild.

 

Do you mean an easy out? Where you drill a hole in the top centre of the existing stud and screw the easy out in and turn that to get the stud out?

 

Hi mate what do you need ? Got most things i am a ex bike mechanic just work part time now I am in wigan but don't mind a ride out to help someone if u let me know what you need I will happily drop it off

 

Whenever I've had to remove studs from something, I've put two bolts on it, and unscrewed it. Dunno if it helps you here though !

 

+1 for this as long as you have enough stud left

 

i find it easier to use two nuts

 

Doh! Yeah, It would be easier with two nuts. :roflmao:

 

I am a nut .....

 

You sound like my saviour, basically something like these;
To remove 6mm studs from the engine block.
If you can help there's a bacon butty & brew in it for you, a custard cream if you're lucky

 

Tries this, the RVF has such a tight working space though, can't get a spanner in and the ratchet spanners I have won't fit in due to the studs vicinity to the block itself

 

Full studs but they're all bent, as I put one new one in its made the manifold completely off, may as well replace all to save future headaches as I have to replace the system in a few weeks when it's been re-manufactured.

Thanks for the advice

 

What i done is flat off the 2 sides with a grider then, put mole grips on. Success

 

Couldn't do that even if I had a grinder, think a midget with midget hands would struggle haha

 

A few pics might help see to get around your problem if possible

 

Sorted it all this morning.
Seems a fresh brain, a brew and some energy solves everything.

Doubled up on the nuts, modified a spanner
And they came out. Threads cleaned, new studs put in=proper job

 

Gald it turned out well for ya in the end. :thumbsup:

 

Cheers bud

 

I've got loads of spanners that i've had to heat up and bend for specific jobs. If you can't buy a tool you're often better off making it yourself.

 

If theres thread left use two nuts lock them together and out they come

 

Sort of what I had to do but the space was so tight, happened after I put the engine back in the frame and wasn't about to take it out again.
