damn 14b stud question
 

how did you guys get the stud out of your 14b's when you got them? jeff, i know you've probably had to take several of these out...do you just screw down two nuts and lock them together and use them to turn it out or what?

Re:damn 14b stud question
 

heat up the exhaust housing with a torch around the bolt.

i use a huge pipe wrench i have. or u can weld a nut onto the stud. or use that double nut technique.

Re:damn 14b stud question
 

use some vice grips

::) apparently you've never done it.

put two nuts on it and tightened one against the other, and some penetrating lube. slapped a set of vice grips on the nut and hit the thing w/ a BFH and off it came...still took a while. what a pain in the ass.

Re:damn 14b stud question
 

mine came out with vice grips no problem, just takes some strong hands to clamp them tight ::)

Re:damn 14b stud question
 

heh, I've done both methods, vise grips (under the threads), right on the base of the stud. Get the fucker extremely tight, or double nut it. Or use a stud remover.. Lots of different ways. Use lots of lube too ;)

must've been a new turbo than, because trust me - im not a small guy. and all i was doing was stripping the ---- out of the stud w/ the vice grips.
