Hi guys,

one of the studs at the join for the 4-2 section has snapped

(in line with the tradition of everytime I work on the car!)

it seems like the studs are welded in or will I be able to hammer it out?

Here's a pic stolen from MadMaxx's megathread:

Any suggestions would be mucho appreciated.

heat it up and tap it through dont think they are welded

I think they're pressed in. Hammer might do it, else grind it off, drill a hole, use another bolt

They aren't welded in and just screw out so you could drill it out easily

don't panic dude! Lol

look like they are spline studs, so just push it out

Mine wound out using the 2 nutt trick (lol) and replaced them with new slightly longer bolts

Yea it wound out, thanks for that bristol_bb4. Couldn't get 2 nuts on it though so had to take the mani out and stick it in a vice and wound the stud out using a huge monkey wrench and a blowtorch which was quite fun.

I've replaced the stud with just a bolt that i've cut down to size, should be alright
