I'm keen to find out how this goes mate, it really is in there properly!

I have done similar to you with drilling then increased bit size until there is less than a mm between the hole and the thread. Then as I am usually slightly off centre part of the thread has just come away and when I have tapped a new thread its done the trick. That said last time was about 8 years ago with a seized steel in steal stud.

Best of luck !

I have space to go up to the 4mm bit which I may do and use the next square tapered remover up from the smallest one in the pack, better grip on the thread and better purchase on the remover hopefully too

Got me a stud and and a spare at lunch and still had change from me fiver for a sarnie

Banshee · 12-05-2016, 08:55

So I did some more drilling all the way to the end as far as I dare go compared to another stud I had out, then I decided that I still had plenty of space left so I stepped up the drill bit size and used the next sized extractor up.

It worked a treat

Hammered the extractor in as far as it would go and got the grips out

New Stainless Bolt from Vauxhall

Manifold back on with new gasket

Not been able to start it up yet as got to refit the radiator and put some more coolant in it first which |I hope to do tonight

You should have been a dentist lol, well done.

The right tool for the right Job, as Scotty once said in Star Trek lol.
I wonder if there is a moral to this story?
Had you used a nut splitter on the nuts, maybe the stud wouldn't have sheared, and all it would have cost is a new nut.
Just thinking aloud lol, you can't do it to every nut, but worth thinking about.

The worst thing is Rustic, it was when I was re tightening them to fit the new gasket, I was so happy with myself for removing them all without snapping any and then I did that, my heart sank when I felt the ratchet give

It's a learning curve, improved my skill set and made my tool set better equipped in the process, who can say that was bad luck? These things come to test us, it's just important we pass the tests

Nice one mate I'm genuinely impressed, I didn't think it would work it looked so well in there, I'm well chuffed for you

Blocky10 · 12-05-2016, 15:54

Good job. Was it you who was going to buy left handed drill bits for this job?

I did and it didn't remove the stud on it's own but was very sharp and didn't show any signs of snapping and I hope it loosened it somewhat, the stud did come out fairly easy

Where did you buy them? Sounds like they'd come in handy.
