2pointslow Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 So long story short. I officially hate this thing. Pulling off my o2 housing and factory downpipe everything is going good untill the nuts strip on my studs to the turbo. Well we get the nuts off and now the studs will not come out. We have heated it up,blah blah blah. Still nothing is budging. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm close to just trailering. my car somewhere and have it fixed.

2pointslow Posted August 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I have tried several different penetrating fluids. Rich, thank you I pm'd you back. Now, say I can't get it out what would a shop charge to get two studs out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 The freeze stuff from loctite isnt necessarily a penetrating oil. It freezes the metal, shrinking it and breaking the bond rust and heat has created. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
