    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Well long story short i stripped one of the studs that hold the oil filter cap on.
Can i replace the stud or am i just ****ed. And if i can replace the stud how would
i pull the stud out and were would be a good place to look for a new stud.

It is on a 78 gs1000

i suggest drilling it out and replace it?

its screwed in, so it may require heating the remaining part of the stud.. is there still some part of it left, or is it flush with the block..
 
The entire stud is still there with 75%of the thread good but the end of the studs threads are smooth
 
Grab it with a good strong pair of vice grips. I've had very good luck with this method.
 
is it possible to put 2 nuts on and twist it out, or weld a nut on and then try to remove it..
 
Thanks guys. And yea i can put 2 nuts on it a buddy gave me the idea to use the two nut trick (lol no pun intended) and if that doesnt work i will try the vice grips
 
Hit it with some penetrating oil, and let it sit a while before you start cranking on it too hard. You really don't want to snap this stud off in the engine.
