Mobile Thread Guys

[sam5709]

hey guys,

iv got 3 broken manifold studs that need to come out, iv already tried to get them out but dont want to go any further because of the risk of damaging the head

so just wondering does any one know of a mobile thread guy that will come out and do it?

any help would be great

how did you try get them out ???

did you drill through the stud then use an easyout?

thats the easiest way to get them out

oh and put a lil bit of heat around them with an oxy torch can loosen them up a bit

Yea wat gazza said

iv tried it on one of them, but the hole is off centered and the other two are in places where i cant get the drill 100% central so id rather do it the safe way lol

asked the same question when I had a cracked exhaust manifold. prick of job (hey mitchy lol)

Luckily for both of us, there is an engine reconditioner that did it no probs..

try find one up your way...

To get broken studs out if you can tack a piece of metal to it and then just undo it. I understand that it may not be possible without the room to do it or if the stud is too deep in. Just an idea that worked for me

[turboedsloth]

see if you can borrow a right angled drill from somewhere, drill the studs, spray some loctite freeze an release and extract with an easy out. worked for me

iv found a mobile thread repair service

"peter whitefoot thread repairs", says he does broken studs and re thread etc so ill give him a call tomorrow

hopefully he can get it done then i can get the manifold back on, then the new turbo, then s15 injectors, then pfc with z32 afm............

then hopefully my car will be faster than brads (RDIRTY3's) car which will put me at rest
