if there is 1/2" showing then a small pair of stilsons will shift it.
The more pressure you put on a pair of stilsons the harder they grip and they never slip.
10" or 12" should do.

You mean something like this?

No......that's not what 'we' are saying, read the post properly. Three case studs need to be removed and and replaced with 3 long Allen bolts which are supplied with the pipe for the rear/end can mounting bracket, in order to fit the pipe......it's a very common fitting method. The problem the poster has is HOW to remove his short studs, nothing to do with the product.

After looking at extractors on the net i had a "brainwave" and tried the 3/8 chuck on my drill. Alas another heroic failure but it might work for someone else. The idea was to tighten the chuck around the stud then turn the chuck anti-clockwise. It nearly did it but the chuck caught on the crankcase side. I've an old flexi-drive kicking about and might give that a go next.

Make sure you choose the right three studs!!

Peen the end over when the nuts on and it will extract the stud as you try to undo it.
Never failed me yet.
