How to remove studs out of housing?
 

Finally got my t3/t04b and the studs are just too long for it to fit my downpipe I already mocked up. Need suggestions in how to remove the studs.

turbo looks fairly new, grab those fuckers with vise grips and TWIST.

There is actually a socket set you can buy and it grabs a hold of the stud and takes it out with a breeze.

vise grip... >:D

do not use vice grips. buy a can of bp blaster and soak the studs for a day and used two nuts and turn the bottom nut( if stud is facing upwards) and that will work.

Pshhh use vise grips.

the studs are in there good and vise grips aren't cutting it and starting to round some.............gonna try the two bolt idea

If you stick something with some grip like rubber, or a rubber band on the stud then vise grip that, should work better.

I agree. Double nutting (damn that sounds bad) the studs will remove them without damaging them. I've done the same thing for the exhaust manifold studs when they need to be removed from the head.

Heat the housing around the stud with a torch then try to remove them with a vise grip. We tried that and no go so we just had the local machince shop take them out ;D.
