How To Remove f@@ked Endplate Stud?

[Bilko]

Thread is knackered. Any ideas on how to remove the stud? Thread is knackered. (Apart from welding a nut on).

I think I know the one you mean. I'm not sure there's enough space.

Could you show a pic? If it is what I immagine and the thread is busted and you are going to cut it anyway, I could only think of two options (but remember that i am a ham-fisted moderfuker.

1-Get a dremmel and cut a / in the middle of the stud, very very thin but deep cut, then, with a thin but wide screwdriver, pull the stud out.

2-If you are desperate, try edging two sides of the stud, so you can grip an adjustable wrench in there, and wrench it out.

Again, ham-fisted (I like this expression) solutions but I think the bodges will get to your objectives.

With compliments,

How strange is that, I was using my dremmel for something completely different for the first time in about 2 years. I'll give that a go, thanks.

Well that didn't work. My immitation dremmel didn't immitate enough and it could hardly mark the stud, let alone cut it.

Our local toolspecialist supplies re-inforced cut off discs (Dremel Make) for this kind of job, perhaps yours might do the same?

Try a small set of stillsons they will bite into the stud if you can get them on :bouncyeng:

[joespeed]

is the thread on the stud knackered or the threads in the case knackered,if the foremost the you will need to weld on a nut and heat the casing up(be careful not to melt it),if the latter then you have a couple of options depending on your facilities,helicoil old thread back to origional size,or cut out the case and weld up and tap back to origional size.
