Exhaust and Centre Stand Removal

(1/3) > >>

ShaunJ:
One of the exhaust studs sheared off on my K7 when I was attempting to remove it. Four came out with the stud three actually undid as they should. It is the outer stud on cylinder 4 that sheared so at least it is easy to get to. It sheared with only about 2 mm left protruding so there isn't, enough left to get a grip on. Can anyone offer advice on the best way to fix this.

I was also considering removing the centre stand to get it powder coated. I am now wondering whether it would be easier just to paint it on the bike instead. Do the centre stands usually come off easily or is it a big hammer and blow torch job.

Hi,
     You could try putting a nut over the broken stud and getting them welded together,there is the chance that with the heat from welding being directly on the stud it may loosen it enough for the nut to turn it out, overnight soaking with penetrating oil would also help

Hi Shaun, I've just had to deal with 2 sheared off studs 1 sheared off just below the surface and one similar to yours, I ended up drilling mine out and helicoiling them, I had never done helicoiling before and found it very easy to do  :)

your centre stand should come off easyish depends when it was last off ?, undo the 2 clamp bolts, then take the split pin out of your pivot tube and tap it out,

if its not been off in a while it may need heat or wd40 or both to move it  ;) cheers Mick. 

ShaunJ:
Thanks for the advice. Are these broken stud removal gadgets worth a try? Looks like you drill a hole in the stud and insert the gadget which has a anti-clockwise thread. Not sure if it is too small to be able to do this. Obviously if it breaks in the hole the problem is made a lot worse so there is a risk.

Dont go near it with a stud extractor, it will break off.

As said above, a nut welded on is the way to go, If you don't have the facility, and can get it to Aston M1 J31 I can help.
