For the non threaded push fit studs: I just did it the way I was taught by an old timer. Make a cut with a grinder to the stud to relieve the tension and knock it out.
I have an old flex pipe I’m removing I cut all the pipe out I cut the studs off no all I have left are the press in studs I am having a really hard time getting them out I’ve tried AN air chisel I tried soaking them with penetrating oil hitting them with a torch using a punch in a hammer I still can’t get them out I wonder if anybody out there has ever drilled out these studs? Colorado
I was very skeptical. But it totally worked. i had a very stuck manifold bolt. Tried everything. and this worked. Thank you very much Daniel and Chief!!
Very nice Danny. Used this method on a stubborn ball joint on a Dodge Ram. Would not budge with large hammers or the press. Torch and garden hose to quench it did the trick. Was a little concerned about the integrity of the axle afterward, but my boss/mentor knew what shade of cherry red was safe. Dull red ok, bright red not so much!
I'm about to do this very thing on my 79 Jeep J10, but the manifold is still in place. I'll be careful. I knew how to do this but it's always great to see a pro do what you thought you should do.
Thank you for the video Daniel, that is my name as mine. I saw in the previos reply that your mom had passed away. I am sorry to hear that. My mum passed away 12 years ago. Take comfort that she is always with you, you have probably already realized that. That happens with my dad more so. Generally when i am doing carpentry, he is my silent inspector! My issue with my manifold is that the studs were cut of flush because I was getting nowhere. I tried drilling one out but I was not careful and lost my center. Logan Lake BC Canada
Daniel thank you for your kind words. She is with me every day. The next time I am drilling out a broken bolt I will make a video on how to fix it if your hole is not centered. Are you doing this right now? 🙌
That was very helpful, thank you very much. I have straightened many profiles with welding torches and loosened tight screw connections but never tried it on those casting iron because I thought it is too brittle....👍
Nice to see your videos, Danny! But I usually prefer to weld nut that bigger than stud (beware zinc-coated nuts, if it's TIG). Works in 99% of cases. Greetings from Russian car enthuziasts.
This is gonna be a lifesaver, for me. I got an OEM manifold off an ‘83 that broke one off flush and I’ve been fighting with it for a week. Will give this a go next time I have a chance.
It seems like a logical method, I am going to give it a try. The exhaust engine pipe studs in my Holden straight 6 (Australian GM workhorse) are not broken, but just well worn. Here goes....
Excuse me, I am installing a new catalytic converter for my Pontiac g3 2010 and I got the part and it came with these three threaded studs. When I attach it to the front exhaust pipe, is there suppose to be a gap between the two or will it snug into place as i tighten the nuts on the studs?
I think you will find vise grips work better if you flip them over. You are supposed to push on the fixed handle. Not sure if it matters but it is at least more comfortable on your hand.
Trying to film it , half one handed and trying not to let it cool and get it on camera in one shot. Sometimes not everything come out right on camera. I should do a video on that!👍
Timely as always. We are working on our 1984 GMC K3500 wrecker. The manifold bolts are SO rusty. I noticed you used resonant frequency with the hammer, or was that to set the teeth on the vice grips? Great tip just in time. You rock Danny!
I learned how to remove manafold bolts by heating up the bolt melt candle wax into it and use vise grips to remove the stud Never seen this method before
Thanks for posting this. This helps. My issue is the stud isn't broke it's cross threaded. I'm gonna try to run a die on the stud but if I have to I've got this option.
Had been running torch myself this morning come in to grab something to drink flip my phone on I totally misread my phone . All I seen was stud I was like o'lord Danny's making different kind of video today then i focus and scrolled up and seen the rest of the title hope everyone is having a great day and thanks for the video take me a 6-minute 40-second break👍
Don't overheat that exhaust flange lobe because quenching the manifold flange with make brittle the lobe with the stud and possibly the stud and it's lobe will break off under tension/vibration. If you have the manifold out like this guy did grind the stud flush...center punch the stud and with the proper left hand drill bit anf drill out the stud and then Easy-Out ® the remainder cold. If the stud protrudes out out of the flange find a non plated black nut with a diameter to fit the stud and puddle weld the nut to the stud and let cool by time.
Good job. I don't need to see it. It's just a matter of expanding the metal around the stud and then freeing or stopping the explanation from hitting the stud. The stud stays smaller as the heat hasn't expanded it yet. The flange expanded around the stud first. Then the cold water holds the expansion allowing the now slightly smaller stud to be turned out. Good job. Old school is brilliant. But it's thought of as sorcery😂😂😂 black smith 1 0 1.

@@jr78racer I’d like to say soon but we are a small shop and we are packed with work. Today my one helper called in sick anyway I’m building a cam doctor at night. Not as easy as one might think. An example is that on the 2.2 Chrysler there’s no pushrods and rockers like the 2.5 GM. Witch means you can’t just get cam lift at the cam you need valve lift x rocker arm ratio….. also before getting back to this I’m working on getting the car back on the road. Anyway soon.
Ok buddy I'm trying tomorrow I got some studs that I was about to kill myself over today I heated them, used wax, and even welded bolts! I gave up so hopefully this method works thanks! Also I have one that has broken off flush smh..

This is the ULTIMATE resonant frequency experiment, ain't it? Squelching it sends a shockwave through the metal in a way no hammer strike ever could.
That was very helpful, thank you very much.

Beautiful work. A really great tip. Every day's a school day.
It really is!
Nice to see your videos, Danny! But I usually prefer to weld nut that bigger than stud (beware zinc-coated nuts, if it's TIG). Works in 99% of cases. Greetings from Russian car enthuziasts.
Use a shielded gas mig welder and a black non plated nut....puddle weld, let cool and voila !
Thank you for this, I really appreciate you providing information on how to use techniques like this.
This is gonna be a lifesaver, for me.
I got an OEM manifold off an ‘83 that broke one off flush and I’ve been fighting with it for a week.
Will give this a go next time I have a chance.
Worked like a charm. Thanks man!
Another awesome video. Thank you Danny for sharing your knowledge.
Glad you enjoyed it
I’ve had success by arc welding a nut to the stud. The thermal shock has always done the job.
Damn, that was really fast and easy way; didn't knew it, but i'll write it down. Have a great weekend!
Hi, new to your channel. Great advice. Thx and Godbless
Welcome and thanks 🙏

@@greghayes9118 - Well, how'd it go? 😬
@NS1. they will have to stay there, until I have access to a drill press as I am certain that will break.

I used both, great question! 🙏 thank you!
Thank you Daniel. Very helpful
My pleasure!
Is that an oxy-acetylene torch? What is the least expensive torch you could buy to do something similar? I have no torches
Yes it is, and I don’t think you could do it without an oxy-acetylene torch. It has to be hot enough to melt aluminum.
I saw one on Amazon that included the cylinder/tank for about $260.
I learned how to remove manafold bolts by heating up the bolt melt candle wax into it and use vise grips to remove the stud
Never seen this method before
I used wax on oil gallery plugs, works great!
Thanks for posting this. This helps. My issue is the stud isn't broke it's cross threaded. I'm gonna try to run a die on the stud but if I have to I've got this option.
Yeah, but how would you do it if the manifold is still on the vehicle??
Same way, but of course this harder to get to. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Nice!
Would love to see a WWCD (What Would Chief Do) series! Love the stories!

Great idea! Good job!
Thank you! 😊
Nice ending,I see we're making up grades
Heard the tink when the threads released from the manifold to know it worked. No tink, still froze up!
What happens if you heat it to much and remove the carbon.
It will crack!
@@MrDanielSoliz thank you
I've done it with wax...apply wax when hot, put wax on let cool and remove
Yes, old school!
Thank you sr that’s mi problem right now I’ll gonna try
I read that the manifold can crack with thermal shock like that - guess not!
thank you...super helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice 👍👍 learned at 13 from my dad
Wow awsome,steve from the uk😊😊
Can you just drill true and put a new one?
Yes you could.
Heard it ping and crack. Can see air bubbles coming from the crack after the ping sound
That is the sound of cast iron cracking.
@@MrDanielSoliz
Why are exhaust bolts splined?
Also, why were you concerned about removing carbon?
Thank you Chief *!*
