#367053 Booster (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 908 Broke a exhaust stud 1 Year, 1 Month ago   There is still about 1/2 inch still sticking out, I have tried heat and two nuts locked down on it but I can't get the stub to budge, any advice would be appreciated.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #367056 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

You might want to have the nuts on it before you use the air and give the nuts a good whack with a hammer then spray the air.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #367059 Emu@Oz (User) Emu Says Platinum Boarder Posts: 2084 Re:Broke a exhaust stud 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Like Curt says. But mate while you've got that much sticking out you might want to try and set up a pilot hole in case you have to use a stud extractor later on. Drilling will also add some heat into the thread and might help budge it. Make sure you've got a flat end on the stud grind it if necessary to achieve this. Make a centre punch mark in dead-center of the stud and then use a small drill to run your pilot hole into the stud checking as you go that the drill maintains position in center and is parallel with the stud. Take it steady with pressure on the drill. You don't want to have a broken drill bit as well. While the stud is fairly warm from the drilling spray with penetrating oil so that oil works into the thread. Now try what Curt suggests. This is how I would approach it mate.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/04/20 23:02 By Emu@Oz.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #367065 greyphart (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4837 Re:Broke a exhaust stud 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Had the same problem (but it broke flush with the head). One suggestion was to cut a slot in the stud then apply PB Blaster overnight. Anywho cost me $220 to have it fixed at a shop . Good luck.

It will eventually start coming out. The combination of heat, pb blaster as it's cooling (the cooling process will pull it into the threads better), and then work your impact wrench never fails. I've even done this on the road with a mechanical impact (the one you run with a hammer), a pencil torch and WD40. Good luck and stick with it.   Logged     Ain\'t scared a no BoogerMan   The administrator has disabled public write access. #367086 zoom1056 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 606 Re:Broke a exhaust stud 1 Year, 1 Month ago   If you do the welding thing, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY to protect the electrical system, learned the hard way on a car.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #367143 Booster (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 908 Re:Broke a exhaust stud 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Thanks folks, I'll give them a try...want to get my Freedoms on and ride!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #367144 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3800 Re:Broke a exhaust stud 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Booster wrote: Thanks folks, I'll give them a try...want to get my Freedoms on and ride! you can send them here, I'll break them in for ya. lol oh never mind, you're close enough, be there in a few hrs.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/04/21 09:25 By Erbman02.     The administrator has disabled public write access.
