Knock, Knock, Whos There? Help!
« Reply #240 on: June 11 2016, 01:56:55 PM »
Got my throttlebody back from steve. Looks like a work of art. Blows my mind he could do all of this within receiving and sending it out the same day. Best 135$ spent and it's 62mm so I'm a cool guy now.

Also, did someone say biggie oil adapter


I think the roll control units are all the same...with a threaded inlet and outlet. I remove the washer bottle and recycle it. I then mount the roll control unit to the fender where the washer bottle was. Take the roll control unit and visit your friendly parts store and grab an 8 to 10 inch length of premade brake line that screws into the roll control unit. Been awhile, but |I believe it's the rear brake line you unsrew from the MC. Very carefully untwist it and screw the end into the roll control unit. Take your premade brake line and use something round to bend it 90 degrees to line up with the MC...and screw one end into the MC...and the other to the roll control unit. Wire your roll control unit...bleed your front brakes...and you're good to go. I'll stop by the shop tomorrow and get a pic and post it.

I can't get these two studs off. I need to get them off to fit my downpipe. The long one won't work with the two bolt method the two bolts just spin together no matter how much I tighten them to each other. I can't do the two bolt method on the short one for obvious reasons. Any help guys?

Best I have is a vice grip. Or if you have other studs and just want those out put the nut on and hit it with the wirefeed. Then you can pull it with am impact.

 I guess I don't understand why double nutting the one doesn't work. Put first nut on, spin second nut on, hold first nut with wrench, tighten second nut with socket n ratchet. Line up the flats so the socket goes over both and pull the stud.

I agree with the vice-grip & hit it with some PB Blaster or WD-40 & then give it a day to seep into the
threads a bit. Some heat from a propane torch will help as well but you may not even need it.

I've never been able to put enough heat into anything with a propane torch to make any difference.

I've done it exactly hoe you described. Even doused it in pb blaster last night and tried just now. No luck.

Could always weld a nut onto that stubborn exhaust stud.

If you don't have a gas axe, I've used mapp gas to heat things. Get the stud and the surrounding area of the casting hot and hold a candle at the stud and casting to get the wax down in there. It loosens things. I also thread a nut on there and hit it with a hammer to try and jar it loose.

Never seize is some good stuff on things like this that you know will have to come apart eventually.

Like Rich said, use Mapp gas & Oxygen. If you don't have a set, I would invest in one and they're fairly cheap. Very handy around the shop for stuff like this. Mine were seized in as well and I heated them, focusing on the housing mostly. Came out fine, be patient.

Yep, the gas axe is the tool of choice for rusty fasteners. Get the housing all cherry red with a rose bud tip and they'll come out. Take it to a good muffler shop along with a 12 pack around quittin' time, they'll have em out before you know it.
