Have a broken stud on the back of the turbo to remove. Tried the Plus-gas/heat/molegrips with no luck. Can anyone recommend from experience best way to sucessfully remove it.
Not too keen on the tapered reverse thread type stud extractors, previous experience of those is they snap

should come out with a decent set of mole grips if not you could drill it leaving a thin wall of the stud then use an extractor

Reverse thread stud extractor is the only method to get it out that i can think of. The trick is to remove as much of the stud as possible with a drill.

Have you tired stilson wrench?

Or take it to an engineering garage.

Or drill it right out and re-thread to use a bigger stud

What size is the thread? If it's M10 drill through the centre of the snapped stud with an 8.5mm then re-tap. Any old bits of the stud will then come out the other side when tapping.
We do this in work all the time. Just make sure it's dead centre.

You've probably fixed it by now but I had exacly the same problem the same one was damamged on mine.


what I done was welded a 17mm nut to it and just used the airgun to buzz it off.. took about 5 mins from start to finish
