Removing studs

<< < (3/3)

I just watched the video and I think I saw a human being with three hands.  I only have two so I would first mount the manifold in a vise or clamp it to the table.  I believe all that movement hindered the bolt removal.  I have the newer type wrench but can not exert enough pressure with my old hands to use it properly.  I would have used a small pipe wrench and, yes, vise grips.

I made a small EDM just for this reason.

I just had a gentleman that wanted me to come to his house, sit on the ground in 90 deg temperature and 80% humidity, using his portable drill and dull bit, to try to remove a broken head bolt in a lawn mower, as he had already tried and failed, because the customer would not pay to remove the engine and bring it to my shop.  I surveyed the situation and returned to my AC shop without the engine.

John, do you remember the three different methods Mr. Polish used?
