When removing or installing studs, its important not to damage the threads. A new stud remover and installer from Laser Tools enables studs to be removed from cylinder heads without damaging them, and also allows for new studs to be installed tightly and firmly, again, without damaging the new stud threads.
Four sizes of remover and installer are provided, covering the most common head and manifold stud sizes: M6 x 1mm, M8 x 1.25mm, M10 x 1.25mm and M10 x 1.5mm. To remove a stud, screw on the remover until the outer nut section reaches the stud tip. Then turn the inner section anticlockwise until the stud is removed. The stud remover grips the stud firmly without compressing or damaging the threads.
When fitting a new stud it needs to be firmly seated and again, without compressing or otherwise damaging the threads. A user must simply screw the correctly sized installer onto the new stud until it reaches the internal ball and won't screw on any further. With the installer now locked firmly onto the stud, the user can screw the stud into the stud hole, and then torque the stud to the manufacturer’s specification.
Finally, the user can unlock the installer with the supplied 6mm hex key, and the installer can now be easily removed leaving clean, undamaged threads on the stud.
