Another happy ending!

I'm just curious if the braintrust thinks that the welding approach also provides some of the needed heat into the broken bolt/stud, facilitating its eventual removal.

I'm no braintrust nor do I play one on tv but it def did heat it up enough to melt that loctite

That tool worked for me to remove my broken head studs, I wonder how he got through the exhaust bolts..

When I welded a nut onto a broken motormount stud on an aluminum Audi engine, the stud turned out quite easily. Prior to the welding, I tried two different stud removers and applied extreme pressure (and also heat from an acetylene torch), but had no luck.

The heat from the welding definitely had a big effect on my job.

hi gents, I'm new to this forum..
I'm trying to remove some broken dilavar studs from a 3.2... According to the Pelican How To, they say you cannot weld a nut to dilavar...

But above, you have done it.

I just bought myself a 3 in 1 welder.. Mig, Stick and Lift Tig.

Can I ask what type of weld you used? And what sort of wire or filler rod you used?

Dilavar being an alloy, can a steel nut be welded to it?

Thanks for the help
