    Removing Cylinder Studs

    How do you remove the Cylinder Studs from the cases?

    You can try using the two nuts method or check with Pepboys for a stub removal tool around $15 or Sears for $25. It's a round tool that goes over the stud and you use a ratchet to pinch it against the stud causing it to turn. Takes alittle time and sometimes it doesn't want to bite into the stud and you got to play with it alittle.

      If you're replacing them with a HD set you can grab them with a vise grip. Close to the thread is best. New ones are only torqued to low amount, i.e. 5-7 ft/lbs or so, so double nut works fine for reinstalling.

      A little heat is better than breaking one if it is stubborn, but I've never had that problem. Yet.

        I was removing the HD type, and the double nut method worked great. Thanks for the tip.

            It's dead, and I'm selling off the peices. The rod bearings went on cyl 3, and I just don't feel like dumping money into it.

            If you need any parts, let me know.
