You can find all the studs you can ask for at the auto-wreckers.. take the studs off of a car that doesn't have a header - use vise grips.. and get the locking nuts off of a car that still has the header.

good luck.

 

i dont know about using vise grips, i would u the right tool... youll run the risk of stripping it if u dont

 

do you happen to know the tool they use and where i could possibly find it or just the name of it? thanks

 

A stud remover is the name of the tool..

Most places carry them..Sears for example:

Or use two nuts and tighen them against eachother on the stud. THen unloosen the nut closest to the head and it should pull the stuf out.

There is a part on the stud where there is no thread.. small vice grips and a an open palm tap should do it. So what if there is some teeth marks on the shaft part. I like buying tools.. but i haven't had to buy a stud removal tool for my project yet.

It's a slightly gehto way of doing it... hehe.. 8)

 

fo life!

 

The two nut thing as mentioned above can also work..
And nothing against Vise-grips 2.2
I have several pairs of them myself..

 

make life easy and bring one of your studs down to autozone. they have em.
