So I failed on my attempt today to remove the studs. I got 8 of 20 out. I used the snap on collet tool but it’s totally marred and unusable now. I was using a impact to tighten and loosen. They definitely used red loctite. I spent about 2 and half hours to get that far with a lot of swearing mixed in.
I tried the standard double nut method even with a impact to tighten and it wouldn’t budge.
Should I use some heat? If so where exactly on the stud and for how long?
I’m nervous using the tool that mangles the threads so that if it goes bad I’m ina worse place now with a stuck broken stud.
Any words of advice or wisdom?
