Take two of the nuts and thread them on. Then jam the lower nut to the upper nut. They should hold and you can spin the nut out.

i think im overthinking this... i still cant get it

Step 1, look at stud. Step 2, screw on a nut, upside down. Step 3, screw on another nut, this time facing the correct way. Step 4, grab a wrench. Step 5, put wrench on lower nut, then simply unscrew it.

how would u put the nut upside down? my nuts are the same and have no up and down side to them>>?

[Hijacker]

Just thread them on. Up down left or right

ya i just did what your saying a one stud broke?

anyone the size of the stud so i can go buy new?

[motoman399]

the size is 6X1.0 for a 10mm head bolt/nut

ill do my best to explain what they tried.

if you have nuts with a flange on the bottom, then that is where the upside down part comes into play. so take a nut that threads onto the stud, thread it on most of the way. then take another nut of the same thread and put it on just like you would normally. tighten the two nuts together (the bottom one loosen and the top one tighten) then take your wrenches off and use only one wrench on the bottom nut only and loosen. the two nuts "jammed" together should remove the stud.

snap on sells stud extractors which are freakin bad to the bone. but they are expensive.

if you break more studs i have some ill send you for free. but you can go to nissan/parts store/hardware store if you need to.

hope you get it from that

thank you, thats what i was looking for exactly... i did break one stud already, the nuts had no flange

so either way i need another, this isnt something that sells at a common ace hardware?

[motoman399]

my ace hardware has automotive studs.

you can also just use a long threaded bolt and cut the head off and use the threads. then you can just like use a pair of pliers to mess up the threads so it doesnt keep threading in. or if you really want it ill pull the studs out of my old water pump and send them to you.

[badbob2121]

well hey i appreciate the help, im gonna check out the local hardware shops, and if all fails i will pm you about sending them.. thanks again

[motoman399]

for sure man. good luck.
