RE: [doc] stud=engine out- any ideas



The trick is NOT to break them off in the first place.

I know they can be difficult, but believe me a good mechanic, taking his
time can usually manage it.

Definitely not a DIY job. In my opinion.

Chris Parnham (Two sets replaced with no breakages)..not by me!

Personally, and given my recent head gasket jobs I'd whip the head off
and do it on a pillar drill, rather than attempt to drill it out with a
right-angled adapter as I know other have managed int he past. Your head
will need ot be faced before replacement and any decent machine shop
doing this will be abel tot ake the stud out for you anyway. We have an
excellent shop who did Steve's heads recently. They came back looking
brand new.
