Trying Out Performance Tool PT Stud Extractor

[@dandurkin5186]

Wow did you save me. I used this tool on a 1947 packard flat head. Pulled 32 studs. No broken studs. Thank you.

[@stever5887]

I've only seen the one video now, but I appreciate your attitude and willingness to help others out. It's why I spend so much time on KZbin; like many others, I come here for tips on how to do projects and perform basic home maintenance. Thanks for taking the time to show us how it's done.

When the head of the water pump bolt broke off on my truck I didn't know how to remove it. I found this at O'Reilly's and saved me so much time and grief and I removed the broken stud. Best tool I ever got at a auto parts store.

[@garylee9738]

Same here. Working on a 95 Ford F250 with a diesel engine. Water pump bolt broke off. I had this tool with an impact gun and it came out. Saved my ass a lot of stress.

[@jonasobletter]

Same here water pump bolt broke on my 01' civic hoping this tool will save my life too

[@everasheron]

Used this tool today and removed 4 broken studs flawlessly. LOVE IT

[@kendtchileninjah5905]

Could knock someone out with that thing lol. I broke a screw changing out a thermostat..had to be the final boss. Thanks for your video bro

[@kvasir40]

Thank you so much for sharing this video and showing precisely how this tool is used. I just used to extract an exhaust manifold broken bolt, which was the last one on passenger side, just close to the firewall. So difficult and tight spot on a GMC yukon.

[@mysterydude1]

I got a stuck bolt on my jeep for the hub. There's 3 bolts. I got 2 out but ended up stripping the 3rd one. I've tried extractor sockets, torch, hammering smaller sockets on and I even used a dremel to cut a slit in the top of the bolt to try using a large flathead. None of it worked, just kept stripping it more and more. After messing around for almost 8 hours trying everything under the sun, I bought one of these and got it out in about 30 seconds. Definitely worth the $20.

[@anthonysummers6299]

Thanks for the video. This tool just saved my butt on my Harley. I broke one of the fork studs and needed to get it out. Once I got it on there it came out with ease.

[@yj1994]

This tool worked great! Broke a stud on exhaust manifold turbo to downpipe on a VW GTI. Did it on the car, and it was a life saver!

[@brianwilless1589]

I bought one today. Didn't know t hey exist. Saw it on the isle. It workes soooo easy. Used impact driver and it came right out! Paid $22

[@PianoSoulos]

Tool is a life saver, had a badly rounded, rust-seized water pump bolt in between the frame, just enough clearance to loosen it a bit with this, then was able to get it out the rest of the way with vice grips. Would have never been able to get enough torque with any other tool.

[@mrballoonpimp]

Can you use it left or right? Can you back out a busted bolt fir example?

[@melchorjuarez2946]

That thing worked wonderfully! I had tried many different ways. Welding a nug was my next choice but this did the job.

[@balloney2175]

I like the way your being natural.

[@jamesholley8967]

That's so cool, I need one of those tools to remove a couple of Briggs and Stratton engine mounting bolts, that I snapped the hex heads off on. Luckily there is some stud left sticking out of the opposite side of the engine.

[@jarrodalveyalvey1665]

Didn't work for exhaust manifold stud I had broke but I can definitely see it being a good tool in most cases

[@AN-kg4ei]

It's supposed to be designed to work with an impact gun also without tightening but I like your approach with the loosening using the larger nut first. I bought the Titan version a decade ago and it has worked flawlessly on broken mani studs, gas tank strap bolts and studs in exhaust flanges. I still use a torch first and lots of penetrant. I'm doing a frame rail stud right now and it's a stubborn SOB. Impacts are your friends folks.

[@alexdodd9853]

That's a great tool, and a great demonstration. That's going to help me out a lot I have the same situation, thanks.

[@mastertech5036]

Nice tool review. Just discovered your channel this morning. Keep up the nice work.

[@RITTERDragonflyDronography]

Just ordered mine. Working on a subaru and have to replace the exhaust manifold gaskets. 3 studs broke and one came out lol. Cant wait to try this tool. Awesome video.

[@johnbronson8928]

Just found your channel This is the content I've been looking for Liked and subscribed. Keep it up.

[@famfeld]

Thanks for the review. I wish I knew about this last week before I ruined my intake manifold by drilling out a seized stud. I'm impulsive sometimes. Need to learn But thanks for sharing and good luck

[@stever5887]

Ben--Over time you learn not to do things like this as soon as they happen. If possible, spend some time thinking about it before attempting to remove/repair it yourself. One thing to keep in mind is if you don't have the tool (or tools) needed already on hand to do the job, you likely don't have the expertise to perform the task. Also, have a back-up plan to undo the damage you may cause when trying something for the first time. Some jobs are simple, others are deceptively so, which gives you the false impression you can repair something. If you're determined to do it, however, research the job here on KZbin and/or Google before proceeding. If you try removal and after a few turns it locks up, STOP; find out WHY it locked up before going farther. If you can't figure it out, tighten the bolt back up and let someone else do the job who knows why. Just remember, there's no shame in having a mechanic do the repair if you don't feel comfortable doing it; it saves a lot of time, money and embarrassment later.

[@VeritasInsights]

@@stever5887 This is excellent advice. How many 2 day jobs turn into 2-week jobs because I got upset, impulsive, and started doing something that made it worse. It is extremely hard, but sometimes you need to STOP, take a look at what is going on, get out from underneath the car, clean up, and go do some thinking on the issue, and some internet research (from those with more experience) before continuing. If you just plow through whatever your doing, you'll being trying to make it better, but you'll make it worse! And those hard lessons you remember, and you take that with you as wisdom.

[@jimdurkey516]

Just what I need for broken carb studs on a 283! thanks

[@mrmagneto554]

I've ordered the Sealey version of this tool for some exhaust studs that are practically WELDED into the header of my '99 Honda Hornet. They sheared off years ago and I didn't have time to fix it during that gasket change, so I'm doing it on this gasket change. I don't want to take the engine out of the bike to remove the studs, so I'm hoping this works for me. The studs are on the underside of the engine with the front wheel in the way, so quite difficult to get at and a bit of an awkward angle for penetrating oils, but I have used Liquid Wrench to hopefully work into the thread (totally plugging Liquid Wrench, it has saved my ass so many times since discovering it, best rust penetrating oil I've found).

[@austinlundy2199]

Did you get the stud out with this tool?

[@krasy0417]

This works great. Make sure it's tight on the broken stud.

[@kelleypack1000]

Got one the other day and it worked good.

[@jomen71]

dammmmmmn son..... thanks to my fellow backwoods mechanic!!

[@rottenrick1969]

Awesome job. I bought the tool and wanted to see how it works. Thanks!!

Thank you for this video. I have an exhaust manifold stud that I have to get off and I just bought this tool, but it didn't come with instructions!🤬 But after watching your video I think I can do it. 🗣💨🤗. You da man

[@johnalexander4940]

Just took one back to Autozone. Piece of junk was pre-used and returned. Tried it on a headache 14mm exhaust bolt, springs fell out followed by the snap ring at the bottom.

Have you ever used this on rusty exhaust flange threaded studs in the rust belt?

his accent reminds me one of the characters from the paradise PD who happened to be a drug addict xDD

[@ClientGraphics]

Is there a difference between the AutoCraft and Performance TooI version other than a $5 difference in price? I think the larger nut on the Autocraft version is a 1 1/2" so a open end wrench or box end works if you don't have the adjustable spanner of that size. If this saves you once or twice from having to drill extract and rethread it's well worth the cost. #wrenchingitforward #torqueitforward

[@jaebae5706]

This is cool and it works great until you have to get the stud OUT of the actual tool

[@dariusstack]

Can you used that tool to install the new studs as well or it just good for removal only

[@BriggsStratton11]

What would you guess the minimum stub length would be to get a decent grip?

[@FindingthevoiceofGod]

It saved my life

[@simondunford6380]

I bought one of these for a stubborn stud. But it just spins on the stud. Wont loosen it

[@goldentrucker7921]

Hey will that fit a m6 stud? The 10mm nut broke off

[@adeelautosworkshop373]

Very nice

[@mrballoonpimp]

Can you extract a left or right threaded stud?

[@Tshizzle42o]

Do you think that would work on a broke off head bolt that only has about 1/4" protruding from the block? Cast iron block and the end of the bolt sticks into the water jacket so it's most likely really corroded in place. Grade 9 bolt

[@RegularTennesseeJoe]

Bought one, broke two and gave up. Will not work on water pump bolt on Jeep Wrangler

[@mrmagneto554]

@@stillontheroad5275 Thanks for your reply. I've got some Liquid Wrench which has worked miracles before now. These exhaust studs have more or less welded themselves into my engine. I'll see how it goes when the socket arrives.

welded nuts to the studs on a 350 of the donut gasket were the manifold bolts to upper exhaust. well i welded 2 nuts n got 2 out with a torch n impact. 3rd stud will not break free! i tried 4 times welding a nut to it and got all the penetration a fella could give to the old girl but i just break off more n more of the stud im now down to a a big qrtr inch of stud left just enough to try another welded nut. ima grab one of these n give it a shot. worst come to worst ill drill the stud out from the top n re thread it.

That is not the right bank of the engine, engine left and right is always determined by looking at the front of the engine.

[@parcec0399]

You are totally wrong. L or R on any part on the vehicle is decided by the driver seated on the driver seat. Same with traverse engines you can say rear or right side or front or left side. Designation agreed by manufactures to make sure people doesn't get confused the way you are right now.

[@thronewalker1153]

This tool does not work. It is a waste of money. What ends up happening is the blades inside go completely dull before you can even get one stud out. Cheap crap
