CB400/4 ENGINE STRIP, ASSESSMENT AND REBUILD BY JULIE - NOW COMPLETE
matthewmosse:
I found a pair of Stilsons / pipe wrench is good for getting studs out of the cases. I bet Trigger has the stud detractors too, they work like the starter clutch with 3 rollers that tighten and grip the stud but I find whilst they are great for putting studs in they are not so good for stubborn extraction and slip and maul threads. Locking 2 nuts together against each other is probably more effective. I've had a few head nuts that have needed a lot of persuasion after buying a few very rough engines. A handy trick is to use a really cheap and nasty socket on the nut, then use a stick welder to stick the socket and nut together, rarely fails, another abusive method using 12 point sockets a bit too small and hammering them onto the rounded nut, Don't use triggers sockets like that, but those horrid cheap sets off the market are fine for that and if lucky they'll withstand a decade of that kind of use saving lots of aggro.

I was tempted to use Stilsons and the woodwork chisels Matthew to remove that bloody nut !!!

Some of those bore marks look like water corrosion, bet the bike was not used for quite a while?

Your right Bryan, the bike was off the road for at least 8 years according to PO. It may have been off the road at other times in it's life as well, who knows.
