V8 Beast Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I tried removing 10 year old wheel studs yesterday with no luck. Heat, mallet, etc and the damn things didn't budge. Any other tricks of the trade I could try? It's the push kind on the front of my ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 3-5lb mallet and treat it like it's your bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrsplat Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 more heat and a bigger hammer. FWIW I never had luck busting studs out using propane, I always used mapp gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I swung that shit like a roided out Barry Bonds. Even tried to put a lug on it for a bigger impact area. I don't want to bend the bolt circle... Especially with it already heated up. I wonder if a vice will do the trick ps.. its mapp gas. Now that I think of it both wheels were in the air, maybe there was too much give on the cars end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
