I'm replacing the exhaust (and other bits) on my MT350/500 hybrid and have a stuck exhaust manifold stud.
I'm no mechanic but I've heard of things called 'stud extractors' so it seems these might come in handy in my predicament; problem being, I havent (knowingly) got one and don't know how they work so a few simple questions:
1) Do they come in sizes or is it 'one-size-fits-all'
2) How do they work
3) Are there different types
The stud in question is not broken or damaged, just immoveable using the 'two-nut' technique. I don't mind if it gets damaged on extraction as I'll fit new ones anyway, just need to get the bloody thing out !
Answers on a postcard please ... or on here
