I posted a topic on the V8 forum and have been advised to TIG weld a washer onto the stud then melt a load of parafin wax around the stud (so it seeps into the stud hole) then weld a nut onto the washer...if i use an impact gun it should spin the stud out.
Richie, Use this method to get them busted off head studs outta your bren gun motor. Instead of the Kroil mentioned in the article, I use a candle. Hold the candle to the hot welded washer/nut arrangement, the parafin melts and flows down the threads better than anything else I've tried. This system works extremely well and eliminates the need for helicoils. Regards, Brian
