jakeep82 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Started changing my turbo today got manifold and all off but then a bolt sheered and snapped, i stripped all my heat wrap off as it was getting damaged. Looked at the old welds i done as there were slight cracks in the mani and they have opened up slightly again. Im in a predicament what to do ? spend time re welding the mani and getting the stud out and fitting a new one or just get a new manifold ?Now one thing i will need to know if i decide to keep the manifold and re weld it will be that is there any where i can get the studs what go into the manifold , also whats the best way to get the studs out ?

akyakapotter Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Re-weld it I'd say but don't heat wrap it should be able to get a stud off the bay mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Soak it in wd40 or similar, or try loads of heat on and around it, or weld a nut too it maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakeep82 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 im not going to re heat wrap it now i cant be assed will any stud go in there solongs it fits in the whole ? heat is a good idea actually Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Heat the mani not the bolt as your trying to expand the hole to make the bolt loosen thats the theory. Not just wanting to contradict you morgey mate just slightly straightening it out lol. So heat the flange aroung the bolt and get the biggest set of molies on the broken bit of stud...the biggest set that will grip the stud. Failing tht use a bolt extractor. You will get a stud from your local hardware shop. They tend to be tucked in industrial estates and are absolute treasure caves to car lovers. Have any bolt you could ever need.

turbo Grant Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Weld a nut to it heat it up and use the nut to wind it out. Failing that just drill the fucker out and just put a nut and bolt in there Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liam_D Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 We Have to remove snapped studs all day at work. Usually from turbine housings. We just get them really hot and then work them out. Works a treat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakeep82 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 ok sweet my plan of attack is going to be weld a nut on the end get it hot and work it out !! if that fails then drill and drill the fucker out ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricky@Race-Tech Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 To be honest i'd look for a different manifold, that one looks like it'll give you lots of trouble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
