Trying Out Performance Tool PT Stud Extractor

I was hired to repair this 4.6L V8 engine , it was leaking coolant from a blown Intake Manifold gasket. It's a 1 PIECE Manifold with the Throttle Body molded into the Manifold
Upon removing the Manifold , there was 2 studs broken into the engine and only 1 came out easy.
I was going to record a Repair video but didn't have time to record the entire process since this was a time sensitive job that needed some promptly .
So I went to my local Advance Auto Parts Store to get a few things
I used Auto Craft, Teq Pro, Gearwrench , Craftsman, Stanley ,,Proto tools on this entire job and I needed a Performance Tool to remove this broken stud
The Performance Tool aka PT Stud Extractor product #W83203 cost me $20
It's meant to Remove Seized or broken studs & bolts that are 1/4 to 1/2 Inch in size
The tools designed to work in small , right areas where studs maybe hard to reach and it has several good features
You can use it on a 3/8" impact gun , low setting use a wrench, ratchet, impact tool or socket on the Hex shaped shaft
It has sponge on the inside behind the 3 sets of teeth that adjust with the Hex head.
Twisting it Right will loosen the teeth , enabling you to place it on the stud and turning it Left, enables the teeth to clamp down on the Stud
I held an adjustable wrench in the Extractors body while using a 24mm socket to tighten the teeth onto the stud securely
Then I simply used my socket & ratchet to turn the Stud Extractor Left and it did loosen the broken stud with ease
I asked questions about this broken stud and it turns out that someone attempted to tighten the bolt with a Torque Wrench With 20 Ft. lbs of torque when it broken
It made the problem worse and ended up in the BACKWOODS Hippie Garage
Righty is Loosey and Lefty is Tighty with this Stud Extractor because you need the stud to come out by turning left
Made from Chrome Vanadium Steel, it weights good, and built to service if neeeded, as you can remove the clip ring for serving
The PT Stud Extractor does have a Lifetime Warranty according to the package.

    I got a stuck bolt on my jeep for the hub. There's 3 bolts. I got 2 out but ended up stripping the 3rd one. I've tried extractor sockets, torch, hammering smaller sockets on and I even used a dremel to cut a slit in the top of the bolt to try using a large flathead. None of it worked, just kept stripping it more and more. After messing around for almost 8 hours trying everything under the sun, I bought one of these and got it out in about 30 seconds. Definitely worth the $20.

    It's supposed to be designed to work with an impact gun also without tightening but I like your approach with the loosening using the larger nut first. I bought the Titan version a decade ago and it has worked flawlessly on broken mani studs, gas tank strap bolts and studs in exhaust flanges. I still use a torch first and lots of penetrant. I'm doing a frame rail stud right now and it's a stubborn SOB. Impacts are your friends folks.

    Ben--Over time you learn not to do things like this as soon as they happen. If possible, spend some time thinking about it before attempting to remove/repair it yourself. One thing to keep in mind is if you don't have the tool (or tools) needed already on hand to do the job, you likely don't have the expertise to perform the task. Also, have a back-up plan to undo the damage you may cause when trying something for the first time. Some jobs are simple, others are deceptively so, which gives you the false impression you can repair something. If you're determined to do it, however, research the job here on KZread and/or Google before proceeding. If you try removal and after a few turns it locks up, STOP; find out WHY it locked up before going farther. If you can't figure it out, tighten the bolt back up and let someone else do the job who knows why. Just remember, there's no shame in having a mechanic do the repair if you don't feel comfortable doing it; it saves a lot of time, money and embarrassment later.

    @@stever5887 This is excellent advice. How many 2 day jobs turn into 2-week jobs because I got upset, impulsive, and started doing something that made it worse. It is extremely hard, but sometimes you need to STOP, take a look at what is going on, get out from underneath the car, clean up, and go do some thinking on the issue, and some internet research (from those with more experience) before continuing. If you just plow through whatever your doing, you'll being trying to make it better, but you'll make it worse! And those hard lessons you remember, and you take that with you as wisdom.

    I've ordered the Sealey version of this tool for some exhaust studs that are practically WELDED into the header of my '99 Honda Hornet. They sheared off years ago and I didn't have time to fix it during that gasket change, so I'm doing it on this gasket change. I don't want to take the engine out of the bike to remove the studs, so I'm hoping this works for me. The studs are on the underside of the engine with the front wheel in the way, so quite difficult to get at and a bit of an awkward angle for penetrating oils, but I have used Liquid Wrench to hopefully work into the thread (totally plugging Liquid Wrench, it has saved my ass so many times since discovering it, best rust penetrating oil I've found).

    Is there a difference between the AutoCraft and Performance TooI version other than a $5 difference in price? I think the larger nut on the Autocraft version is a 1 1/2" so a open end wrench or box end works if you don't have the adjustable spanner of that size. If this saves you once or twice from having to drill extract and rethread it's well worth the cost. #wrenchingitforward #torqueitforward
