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.
Better to show the bad one! But I'd say, "oh-oh! " I've always had to drill these out...(and too many times wish I hadn't tried....) I'd consider taking it to a machinist .

They're held in with factory thread locker and come out pretty easily if you hear them up first.
There you go! A decent picture would,ve been nice...Mr.Sunny and Mr.Darkness ! I assume the worst with snapped off stud on corroded barn bike but if just the threads are stripped...still, Mr.Darkness can still see you breaking it off with a pair of vice grips...tiny turns in-out as you try to turn it out...

I've replaced a couple of those with no issues. Bunch of spray before hand and a pair of vice grips if I remember right. There might have been a bit of heat to one of them but never had any real issues getting them out.

I haven't found them to hard to get out either.Like Rob said a vice grip usually suffices.My GPz fork is wearing one taken off a GS fork.
Yep. Common job, since Suzuki made the studs out of cheddar cheese.
A little heat helps -- no need to get it red hot or anything -- then grab 'em with locking pliers and twist 'em out. You can get 8mm studs at a decent auto or hardware store. (Notice I said "decent" -- the teenagers and drifters running the register at the big box stores won't have the slightest idea what you're looking for.)

Thanks to all. I let it sit for a few days with PJ Blast penetrating oil on it and it came out just fine. Local auto shop had a 8mm stud. All is good. Thanks again.
