snapped cylinder studds


Recommended Posts

did you just break the studs or did the studs rip the cases threads out? if the studs just broke off inside you can remove them, it wont be ez but it can be done and you wouldnt have to worry with the helicoil

just broke them and only 3, i just started trying to get one of them out couldnt do it so stopped before i screwed up threads incase someone wanted to buy them, since im leaning towards buying another set.

but another set of cases, which i am really leaning towards or heli coil them. tried getting them out for the powder coater, my cases where mint never broke and i snapped 3 studds. these cae might be for sale if interested and i might be looking for another set,

Those case studs dont come out easy, I've had luck with heat. I you have access to torches heat the aluminum around the stud untill its good and hot. Oh yea a 5 dollar propane torch wont work, if it does you'll be there for ever. drill them and have your easy outs ready. good luck.

had the same thing happen with my cases and i even used heat before i started doing it. i ended up drilling them out and putting heali coils in my 4 outter ones they will hold just when you put the new studs in don't suck them down tight because u cna pull the coil out just finger tight is enough and the nut up top will do all the tightning u need.

 

 

 

 

o and pb blast waste of time unless it is nut and bolt i tried it didn't do shit. and i let it sit over night soaked in it.

i tried heating them up but didnt want them to get to hot due to is aluminum, used pb and let sit the only reason i was taking them out was the powder coater said he needed them out to powder coat , but i was just told i shouldnt have to have them taken out to get them powder coated. so i guess ill find another powder coater. after i buy a another set of cases

Yes...and the other side of that coin is warpage on the cases. PA Matt...did you do anything special afterwards to check for flatness, or did you get..."lucky"...:)

Well maybe I just got luckey, but its the only way I could get them out, and trust me I tried everything I could think of. I even tried military grade pt oil. I found a little heat goes a long way.
