Doesn't wrk..lock washer only lock both nuts together and they all spin as a unit.... this method that he show only works for the loose nut as seen in his video...

If it comes out this way it wasn't stuck. Stuck is when there's no threads left and the vice grips or stud remover you had to use are just tearing metal off the stud.

I don't even have to try on on 2V 4.6. I know for a fact there are no room for any kind of tools up in there. I really don't want to pull the damn manifolds for that... At that point I'm putting headers on and that is gonna be pricy and a massive pain too.

As a 28 year mechanic and enthusiast I can say honestly it doesn't work everytime but does help with multiple deep creep soak and heating with torch. Smack it a few times as well to break threads loose as there always rusted. Once you smack it and heat plus soak a few times usually comes out but there are some your taking the turbo off for sure. At that point just put the stud in a vise.

Cara Milanmastracci, A well executed video tutorial indeed. Your personality coupled with great photography is a gift to us you tube students. I recommend always using anti seize compound before putting the studs back in for easier removal next disassembly. Keep up the good work, and mile gratcia.

This is awesome! I used an impact driver to drive the studs back into the left cylinder head (what a silly goose) and I knew I was gonna do that but I didn’t think it was in that tight. I’ll be able to try this if I ever have to take those studs out again.

Great video, I've come across situations on motorcycles where this is necessary but there isn't enough room for a wrench. If you round off the corners on the top nut so a socket can bypass it and grab the second nut you'll be able to remove the stud the same way.

Wow, this just saved my sanity, I legit thought my studs were welded to my engine after 2 hours of trying to remove, 5 minutes using this technique and they came right off

Saved my life!!! I am working on my first car and the stud broke on me for the plenum I was watching a bunch of videos that said blow torch and drilling it out I tried the 2 nut method came out right away.

my stud is under a water pump, rusted and only threaded enough for one nut, and the torx tip is rounded off and gone. I tried this method on an m8 1.125 threaded stud and the new nuts milled the threads off of the stud in that area and it just spun around this was an m8 1.125 thread. P.S. I said fudge it and welded a 1" nut over the end of the stud and eased it out. Great Success !

Thank you so much. Literally the only thing that worked! I felt stupid for not thinking of it first, but I appreciate it none the less!

Exactly what i was looking for ! Thanks man, for a such a specific solve !

This happened to a friend of mine........ Whose engine I was wrenching on ('91 Volvo 740), and I busted the stud head off because I'm so strong (not because I'm a dumbass of course). At any rate this video was helpful, thanks friend!

Excellent video. You never fail to please! Here's an idea, if you add a few more lumens on your face when you're doing your tripod shots your camera lens will have more depth of field from the tip of your nose to right behind your ears. I see your camera continually refocusing on your eyes and if that depth of field was deeper (with a little more light) the 6 inches from the tip of your nose to behind your ears would stay in constant focus. As if you didn't have enough to think about ; )

Hey there, great video! I'll have to remember this when I remove my exhaust. What can I do if the rusty nut was getting rounded and not budging even after applying penetrating oil and no torch since I am doing this is in my garage. My RSX has 3 studs like the one this video connected to the catalytic converter. Break the nut and stud with dremel and push the remaining part using an air hammer? The stud has a head but it's round protrudes about 2mm, so I'm thinking that the stud was pushed in and not screwed in

@@adamcolbertmusic My studs are almost impossible to get to even with a ratchet extension, what I am having to do is halve an M7 nut and try to reverse thread it to clear the threads so that I can put on an M7 nut followed by another M7 nut that I will grind down all edges until nearer an M6 nut and ratchet the larger nut against the smaller one to get it off. If you have an Italian scoot you'll know they are a pain in the ass to work on the second exhaust manifold bolt is a nightmare to get on as it is impossible to get a clear straight angle to ratchet it and there is no room for a spanner of any kind in there.

Where you find your stud at. I can't find a 8X42 or 8X50 for a 2017 Kymco Super 8 150cc. On a diagram. It say it uses flange bolts. But one of the studs that's still there. Shows it uses studs instead of flange bolts. I'm trying to attach a header.

So if this was done on a on the bottom side of a scooter. Would the stud be installed using the same method?

They also make stud removers that grip the stud and turn it with a ratchet. But sometimes I feel the nuts are safer since you’re using wrenches and not applying as much torque so the likelihood of breaking is lessened

How do you install it? Because mine came off when I was racing

What if I broke my stud 😭 can I change that or. Like mu Honda Civic 2008 where the injectors are being hold on I broke one stud ?

Thank you!

Putting a lock washer in between the nuts also helps to keep them from turning or coming loose.

Wanted to try this way, but no space to fit spanners, in the end hammered a 6mm hex socket down & it worked, gripped enough to turn the stud

Thanks pal...top man

Damn mine is all stripped out and threads torn up from cutting off the nut. No room to swing a wrench off the manifold anyway. Great idea though. Your idea inspired me to weld a nut on there lol. The heat defintely wont hurt it any.

also works great for broken bolts if you can get to enough threads

What do I do when they are so stuck that I’m stripping the nuts by hand with a wrench? Inside and outside if you’re curious.

Depending how tight you had to thread them, I would replace them with new ones. If the threads look fine, go for it. Considering new studs are usually about a buck a piece, for 2-3 bucks to replace the turbo studs, that's fine with me.
