Hi all,

Im trying to get the 6 long studs out of my 200 block Yb. I have tried locking two nuts together and tried un-doing them but they are barstad tight!

Is this the best way of doing it? Anyone got any tips?

I have however employed some muscle for later on this evening so he maybe able to get them undone by locking nuts together lol

 

i just locked 2 of the nuts together quite far down the stud where its more rigid and they were tight but they did undo

 

yep as above should come out that way...remember they would be torqued up to about 100ft/lb so will require a bit of force.

 

god these studs dont wanna know, my mates hada go and the we cant lock the nuts together enough without them turning

 

ok, well Im going to give it a few more trys with some brute force

 

if the nuts are still spinning without turning the stud , try adding a few extra nuts so to say

so insted of using 2 nuts to lock together ,use 3 nuts and wang em up against each other !!

failing that then would weld nut to it then remove ...unfortunately this will knacker your long studs

 

what about warming the bottom of them up,at the mains ?.with a blow torch

 

Done it, just used some bigger tools lol Did take a fair bit of effort though. Cheers for your help!

 

was gonna say use a long bar and socket to do up the top nut rather than using a normal rachet/spanner then use a long bar to get it off!!

Found when i was fitting them had to be really really really tight too or the nuts moved!!!
