Need Help removing studs to manifold...

zforlife · 01-05-2013, 05:56 PM

Just want to be sure I'm on the right track. I have no problem removing bolts (3 demons) however, the stud is still hanging out....and I'm not sure how to remove it.
Read where you basically put a nut on backwards/1 facing to loosen stud. Is this what everyone else is doing to remove studs?

Thanks for your help...I've been at it for a couple of hours.

Double-nut it. Put two nuts on the stud and tighten them against each other. Put a wrench on the lower nut and twist the stud out.

If I may add?

You can also ensure both nuts are line up tight and use a deep socket.

Plan to allow PB Blaster to penetrate over night and double nut in the morning.

I was thinking....this is too easy (removing nuts) only to find demon stud.
