what a load of bullshit! im a bike technician ... i would have used a time-sert ... dot punch the center of the bolt then start with a small drill bit then drill bits slowly increasing up to the size of the hole (using a little oil so you look after your drill bits)... cut a new thread then fit the time-sert ( from a company called wurth) . the way you did it was butchery! rofl "snapped one of the cooling fins but its ok" they are there for a reason!;-)

@gurrtiger There's the controversy I was talking about. Refer to 1:23 where I talk about how the owner butchered the opportunity to do what you just said. ( the right way)

My exhaust stud has a nut rusted to the stud. If I where to heat the area red with an oxy acetylene torch. What are the chances the nut would pull out the stud since they are rusted together?

Thank you

@fargobrad If you wire brush it first and then heat it it's likely it will come off or the stud will come out like a bolt.

 Im dealing with the exact same problem with my bike. Thx.

@DiscoMoonMonkey You're welcome my friend!

@briansmobile1 Nothing sucks worse than snapping off an EZ-Out in a broken bolt. I'd rather slam my penis in a door twice.

Great video. So many of these problems we run into wouldn't exist if the last guy that wrenched on it had assembled the parts with anti-seize, proper torque, chasing threads, etc. you know. Everybody just wants to force stuff to fit and then put a breaker bar on it.

You did a good job on that broken stud. With a slot like that you can also use a hand impact if theyre galled or cross threaded.

What a great bike.

i hate when exhaust studs break off in a head. never done one on a bike. but chevy 4.8, 5.3 and 6.0 are notorious for having the rear bolts on the manifolds break off, so then you have to remove the manifolds and try to drill them out of the head with the heads still on and no room against the firewall, or remove the heads and try. breaking the extractor in the stud sucks, and the machine shop always gives us crap when we send them with broken extractors.
