I had to find this video again just to come back and say thank you. Got the same die hard deep well that you used and it worked like a charm. Thanks again. New sub!
Ill do this an if i cant get enough leverage ill just pull out the angle grinder an destroy the bolts im replacing a rear cat on a 07 g6 3.5 its so tight an I already stripped the bolts
@@PhillipsVisionis the stud reversed threaded at the top? I had to grind off the nut and use a stud extractor but the extractor isn’t getting the stud to budge. Any solutions?
@@DoloDolph yes, it’s reversed up top. Try saturating the stud with penetrating oil and feed the extractor deep into the stud. Use a breaker bar and turn slightly so it can dig in a grab it. If that doesn’t work try heating it up first with a torch.
yeah the irwins are shorter, but you can place a bigger socket on it hence the hex at the bottom. 1/2 3/8 drives dont matter, wrenches could be used. tall studs not an issue.
Boss man hello. I am also trying to remove a nut from a bolt on a catalytic converter flange. However, the nut on the bolt just turns and turns when i reverse turn. Its not stripped just wont back out.
@@PhillipsVision just wanted to follow up that it worked pretty well. I got the diehard deep socket bolt extractor and slowly used an 18 mm along with 1/2inch bar to pry it off. Thanks so much for the video.
Rounded stud broken and stuck however I was able remove other part that is nut and half peice stud.. is it good idea to drill thru it .. there is no way I get grip on the rounded head part .. plz advise
This video is so under rated. All other DUI methods on TH-cam did not work except for this one.
@@kerof4091 Thank you 🙏

Thanks for the feedback and support
Greate video. I bought the DieHard extractor sockets they worked great.

Hey thanks for this info. What about worrying about breaking the stud, do you ever have to use heat? I have a 454 vette and that is my concern.
If the stud breaks, you can saturate it with penetrating oil and bang it out through the top

A good vid, I wonder why the Die Hard sockets aren't 1/2" drive.
Thanks, well done instructions.
Great job thanks for sharing…👍👍

Could you have used small torch on that bolt in that area? Do you think it would be safe..like a little lighter torch?
Many time, if it is stuck that hard. The stud will break. How do you avoid that ?
If it is seized that bad it’s very hard to avoid. Try using penetrating oil first to try to help loosen it
Boss man hello. I am also trying to remove a nut from a bolt on a catalytic converter flange. However, the nut on the bolt just turns and turns when i reverse turn. Its not stripped just wont back out.
Is the stud turning on the other side of the flange?
so my bolts broke how do i get them out, i'm lost with the bolts are stock and i don't want to take the manifold off
You can drill out the center of the broken bolt and use an extractor bit to unscrew it
Can the extractor cover the flange instead if the nut is severely stripped?
If it’s severely stripped use a smaller extracting socket. That should work
@@PhillipsVision thanks. Will give it a shot

@@e.r.videography6209 awesome 👍

@@Ravi2412 yeah, in some cases you might need to drill it out
I got the same problem.
But my boltz are rounded out
Any ideas
The hex heads of the bolts are rounded? If so, just use these extractor sockets on the bolt side
I tried this for the same thing on a 15 mm and I used a 14 and it stripped it worse what do I do
Try using the next size down extracting socket, and bang it on tight with a sledge hammer
I have the nuts off trying to get the studs out. One of them has been cut
