Dicklez Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 try a mapp gas torch. Dont heat up too much that it heats up the studs. I heard dripping candle wax over the threads works too. Never tried it tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 heat works good are you using a stud remover? if you need to pull them to put in another cylinder just buy new studs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Some times heating up the stud and aluminum will help break them loose. They heat and cool at different rates so it can break corosion loose. You want to heat the stud and aluminum up pretty good. Then let the entire thing cool down. Then try removing it. If nessessary then re heat just the aluminum part. This is also what helps removing broken studs by welding a nut on. You heat the broken off part as well as the part it is threaded in to. Then when they cool the corosion has been loosened by the expansion and contraction of two different types of metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
