Which stud extractor?

[kiroh]

Any recommendations for a good stud extractor?

Something which is not too expensive and gets the job done.

Two nuts tightened against each other and then use a normal ring spanner or socket.

Sounds painfull Yen

Knew as soon as I typed it someone would say that. Trust me though it works really well if you need to remove a stud. Blimey that sounds worse....

Thanks for advise guys but the stud is too far in - not a bit sticking out.

I too didn't mean this to sound dodgy but everything related to studs and extractors is...

Oh a broken one. You need an Eaziout extractor. Go to a proper engineering shop, tell them the diameter of the offending stud and they will sell you a good quality eaziout of the correct size with matching drill bit. You'll need a tap wrench to use the extractor.

Cheers Yen,

When you say proper engineering shop, you obviously don't mean Halfords?

Good god no. I used to go to a place in Chadwell Heath called......, no it's gone. But I'll find out cos I believe it's part of a chain.

If things get really bad I have welded a nut to the nasty stud in the past if theres room that never lets me down.
