400/4 restoration - it begins at last

Motor all apart besides 5 head studs. I have done the 2 nut / heat trick on all but these last ones are reluctant. They are quite thin shanked and I do not want to apply too much force and break them..... Think I will try stud in vice and turn the whole case - (Laverda120's tip I think?) Will apply heat again but worry I may go overboard with too much! Any guidance appreciated.

Why do you want to remove them ?
The two nut way will twist the stud if it is well stuck in ;)
Nurse Julie:
I used the vice method as advised by Ian (Orcadian) to remove the head stud that I mullered the top of trying to remove the nut. Worked well with plenty of diffused heat. But, I left all the others in as couldn't see any reason why they needed to be removed. Double nutting can actually twist the stud along its shaft as it is so long and thinner in the middle. Trying to remove it on the vice, still attached to the top casing is not the easiest manoeuvre you will ever do, trust me, its difficult.

Was intending acid dip / paint route and assumed it would be necassary???

No Tim, the studs can stay in. You are making fast progress on this strip, have you got a heated garage? 😀😁😁
Rozabikes Tim:
Small oil rad. Keeps the nuts warm. :P
Things will slow down now I would think. I have an oportunity of freebe chroming but need to get that away in near future.
