Stud removal tool

[Judo]

If I've tried various tricks like double nuts and have decided to buy something to ease the pain, what recommendations do you have for stud removal? I have 2 cases already lined up:

1. M8 sump studs (stuck in the block).
2. Exhaust studs (M10 I think)

I found these options on ebay but don't know much about them. I like the idea of a non-specific thread one as I'm certain to come across this problem many times in the future...

I have the first tool, it has been useful, only downfall is that it is bulky and may not be able to get onto a stud in hard to get places, the last set looks OK to me, seems more compact, but have never used one or seen anyone using one. The short extension bar in the first tool comes in handy for other jobs, Regards Frank.

Still buy the Extraction kit for snapped off studs that are flush, they are a lifesaver.

Get the last kit on that list for normal removal & install. Very easy to use!

We have a similar kit at work & cant fault it

Thanks guys. I've ended up purchasing both the first tool and an extrator set. I do love ebay!

Hi Guys Sorry for the late reply. But here goes. I've used the first tool for removing studs that are proud of the item they are screwed into . No longer use it as I have found a far better tool although it is size specific.

Something like this . Roller cam stud extractor

Stud Extractor Roller Remover Bolt Removal SET 4pieces Metric OR Imperial TE254 | eBay

or

BGS Germany 11pc Socket Stud Extractor SET M5 M6 M7 M8 M9 M10 M10 5 M12 M14 M16 | eBay

I have an "SAE Roller cam stud extractor" by T & E Tools . 3/16" - 1/2". Part # YF-1022C. ( 5050 )

For flush studs I used something similar to what you have bought

Just type " Stud extractor " into ebay

I used the first tool to successfully remove some studs from the block, but I didn't have as much luck with exhaust dump pipe studs. (I will try harder at a later date). The successful job was the most important one anyway. Seems like an OK tool and I'm sure it will come in handy again.

Mig welder, the rest are rubbish

lol Helpful when I don't own a mig... I assume you weld a nut on?

[two up]

Yes, just weld a nut on, the heat also helps to free the stud as well.

I've got a snap on stud remover which basically looks like a drill chuck but its toothed inside and tightens as you twist to undo. Has a 1/2 drive piece out the back for using with a breaker bar......never let me down yet!
Before I got that I had the snap on set that is individual sockets that you lightly tap on with a hammer then as you undo they bite hard onto the stud. Great for snapped studs where a tiny bit is poking out but due to the nature of the design you won't ever be able to use the stud again. Think they cost me around $300 back in the day. The drill chuck design one cost me slightly less and usually doesn't cause too much damage to the said stud/bolt
