Stud extractor recommendations.

[Billy Balthorpe]

I used a barrel and cam type from Lazer. Only cheap but worked a treat.

Ordered a Neilsen extractor which covers sizes 6 to 13mm. Off to the exhaust guy tomorrow to get a quote for the repair.

Just a quick update. Extractor arrived today, out to the garage and both studs out within 5 minutes......phew. Off to the exhaust guy tomorrow to collect that, so somethings gone right for me for once.
I decided on an adjustable extractor as couldn't be certain an 8mm socket/roller type would fit firmly enough due to the studs being rusted. The one I bought resembles a drill chuck so the harder you try and undo the stud, the tighter the jaws grip it.
Thanks Billy Balthorpe for posting the pics and for all your advice, whacking the engine with a hammer took a leap of faith though :lol .  :thumbup :thumbup
