Help i did something bad

[Guest]

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

Do u have any clue were i can find new studs

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..

partsfish.com sells them for cheap.

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.

Yea i really dont want to do that

If we had at least a slight clue where YOU are, we could make better recommendations.
