All, Having a bit of "difficulty" with a stud on my corvair block. The stupid thing doesn't want to be cooperative...
Since you have to be smarter than the stud to get it out, can someone please enlighten me... This is what I've tried so far... - Ye ole wrench and jam nut - PB Blaster Penetrant - Stud extractor (won't hang on) - Small pipe wrench (broke the wrench! China crap!) - Heating up block area with torch then a squirt of oil - Light tap with a hammer (on a nut that was threaded on) Sigh... Stubborn thing... I'm trying to get them out to do a good block cleaning and then helicoil them all... I found a good guy near me that sold me 3 full engines for $250 :-) and threw in an extra block just because, so there are no shortage of parts... I just would like to get this one completely apart! Thanks in advance.
