Mobile Stud Removal

[lineskee 33]

Hi everyone,

I was lucky enough to snap the last stud when removing my exhaust manifold last night. I had a search around and i couldnt find anyone who could do this locally.

Just wondering if anyone knew of a service in the Capalaba/ Brisbane area that could come out to my house and remove the broken stud? If anyone knows a company name or number i could call it would be much appreciated.

I would really like to do it myself but i would probly lose my temper trying to get to it with a drill.

Thanks in advance

Well all i have come to the stage where i am in desperate need to get this broken stud out of my block. I have heard all the great things about "threadtech" but i cannot manage to get a hold of the person. i have been provided both phone and mobile number and they both ring out and go to message bank. i have left multiple messages and called multiple times. Im sure its a great company from all the good reviews i have heard from this person but i need this stud out before my car goes in to be tuned this friday. I was wondering if anyone knows of any other company that can provide the same service of coming out to my house and removing the stud?

Any help would be greatly appreciated because i am at wits end trying to get this stud out. i have also managed to try an easy out tool and it managed to snap in the centre of the broken stud. please help. thanks in advance

go to bunnings, go to the tool section and ask them for one of those tools that remove snapped studs, forget what is called, but it costs like 12 bucks, and get a drill bit too, think its like 6mm u need, costs like 8 bucks, then drill a hole into the stud, stick in the tool and it will slowley bring it out, if that fails, get a 10.25mm drill bit, bore out the hole, tap in a new thread, put in a helicoil thread, then ya new bolt. i had to do it to mine couple weeks ago, easily done, but if its not at the front of the engine u will need to get a right angle converter for your drill, costs liek 15 bucks at bunnings. hope that helps, if not, pay someone 100 bucks to do it for u

The problem with that is that he has snapped said tool inside the hole he already drilled. Any attempt to drill it out from now on will usually result in a blunt drill bit. You will need to get thread tech to do it. 1300 THREAD

Does anyone else have this much trouble getting onto threadtech at all? I already have gone down the path of going to bunnings and purchasing a drill, drill bits, angled chuck, multiple sized stud removal tools. the stud gets a daily shower in wd40 and an angry eyeing off by the owner. and i dont like my chances of even getting a welder to fit in there.

i want threadtech to get this thing out as i cannot find anyone else.

You will have to try and get this easyout bit out before you can do anything . If you manage to get this bit out its not very difficult as long as you have an oxy torch .

You will have to heat the area then use the easyout and she will come , careful do not get carried away with the oxy because the cyl head is alloy, dont melt it . If you don't have oxy or any experience with oxy try normal lp gas but it may not work with that . CARE should be taken when using flame to make sure no fuel is around especialy in a closed garage . You maybe better off letting some expert to take it out .

If you stuffed the thread , don't worry they can drill a bigger hole and then use a helicoil .

ohhh i see, i didnt really read before i posted lol

i snapped mine easyout too thing in there too, there realy weak why is that? i just bought a decent drill bit, put heaps of oil on it a drilled at a really slow constant speed, and it worked

another trick is to get a reverse direction drill bit and just drill into the thing, it will bind and jam at some stage which will almost certainly shock the jammed stud enough to get it loose. shock loading can be a wonderful thing sometimes.

[lineskee 33]

hmm reverse drill bit. i might look into that. is it just like a normal drill bit, but backwards? ill try anything to get this #*%^%& thing out

[SmittyR33]

Definitely grab the reverse drill bit and give it a go as I had a broken studs on a few types of heads and in most cases the drill will bite at some point and wind the sucker strait out. Then again I never had an easy out broken off in there either. Take it easy and be carfull with that alloy!!! Good luck
