@break_it_better: I need ideas @denniskirk #motorcycle #repair #stud #broke #harleydavidson

Benjamin Shelby :

It’s not stuck if it’s liquid🤷🏻‍♂️

Bryce Larson :

well someone is having a day of it

Grumpy getting Older :

grow a weld on it till you can weld a nut on to spin free

Duane Lange :

this looks like something that was left for future nate?

Ozzy Oh :

there is totally a video of past Nate over torquing the pipes on leaving future Nate to have to replace a stud before a big ride!

denniskirk :

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Chapin Kindred :

Carbide drill bit, drill slow in small bursts. After you have the hole drilled, spray with penetrating oil, wait awhile then try the easy out again. Patience is key

sarahpalinslabia :

Super missile weld arc rods

Michael Lane :

ur gonna have to drill it completely out

NoMad_xi :

oh my god just drill it out and re-tap it. work smarter not harder

cory haynes :

had the same issue on my 08 1200 Sportster it got drilled and tapped to the next size

BHrapp1991 :

Weld a washer to the stud first. Then weld a nut to the washer.

Christopher Gray185 :

crayon/candle wax. doesnt dissipate with heat like penetrating oil and gets down in

thatcarguy365 :

You need a better weldulizer

just_javi4now :

Jason :

kenkercher204 :

hillbillybacon :

Jimmy :

walk away and let future nate figure it out

Ůņ¢łę $¢řąț¢ħ :

Can’t be tight if it’s liquid. 🤷‍♂️

Just Jeremy :

mine did the same thing about 13 years ago. had to have one those edm machines to get it out, I got lucky and the contract machinist we used had access to one.

actionjaxon08 :

I’ve been in that exact situation and it sucks

Ryan Sorenson :

I felt this 😞

KP the artist. :

I went through this with the thermostat housing on my ford ranger, which bolts into the engine block.. two bolts broke removing the old one, then a drill bit inside that bolt, then another drill bit, then two extractors. Then when I was finally done with all of that, the bolts that came with the new thermostat housing weren't strong enough to handle the proper torque specs and one of those snapped

Jason E. Lee :

I feel your pain
