tensioner

[ca18detgabby]

the bolt that holds the timing belt tensioner is attached to the head correct?

in the process of taking the tensioner off, my BF used a braker bar and broke the stud that holds the tensioner pulley.

it was just the size of the nut that broke off, but now I wont be able to attached the pulley and lock it in place.

any ideas? I really dont want to replace the head. I assume I could have someone weld on a new stud end? maybe its threaded in? god dam Im frustrated and cant even look at it anymore.

ideas? before i take the breaker bar to his forehead?

[themadscientist]

yes It is just a stud. grab it with some vise grips and unscrew it and put a new one in. Yeah, I think a for your BF is in order.

[ca18detgabby]

your serious!!!! it screws in and out!!!!!!!!!!

holy crap I hope you are serious.

you have no idea, but he nearly hit the sealing he jumped so high when he read that.

[meminto]

I can confirm that it is a stud...

Totally serious. Don't kill him, just take away his tool privileges for a while

[ca18detgabby]

what are the odds of it breaking in the process of him unscrewing it? did nissan use lock tight or or anything? I cant imagine they just used shear strength?

aluminum head vs steel stud, you should be fine. It has been in there for 2 decades though so expect a fight.

so there isnt an adhesive?

[themadscientist]

Studs are normally installed dry unless they hit the water jacket; then they normally have a sealant on the threads.Stud in



stud out

[ganma_ca]

Then ya do the hokey pokey and the stud falls out? That's what it's all about!

Gabby, I know you need advice on how to be a typical girl because you are a pretty cool chick, not an evil ***** like most women. The trick is to stick this somewhere in the corner of your memory and whip it out in the middle of a completely unrelated argument years later.

Him, you used my favorite shirt as a rag? You, it was full of holes and dirtier than the other rags. Him, I can't beleive you did that! You, remember that stud you broke in 09'? Him, what? WTF does that have to do with this, huh?

And while he stands there trying to even remember you keep polishing your wheels with his shirt.

[zero_gripS13]

autozone rents out stud removers should make the job easier if not vice grips ftw! :P

if not the free way is grab 2 hex nuts screw one down then screw the next one on and the tight them againe each other jam nut style then turn the first nut u put on counter clockwize should rotate the stud out.. gabby u can beat the stud in more than one way

its a wonder you dont have any luck with women........

[ca18detgabby]

what size stud remover do I want? I think I may go buy one from sears they are not expensive.

very cool tool. always fun going out and finding new tools like that.

[themadscientist]

The double nut trick is the way I pull every stud, always works.

Did anybody else get a gay vibe from that sentence?

PS I would double up on the nuts, but there isnt enough thread.

[zero_gripS13]

the kit form autozone covers multipule sizes, but its probably a 10mm studd or something close not sure though

and who doesnt like jamming 2 nuts together

[ca18detgabby]

love you boys. went sears and picked up a stud remover...... easily the coolest tool we have bought in a long time, next to craftsmen 710FT/LB impact gun and my buddy the breaker bar.

never before has have I gotten to use a hammer for something constructive........

now I can send him to work tomorrow to make me a new stud.

I would post pics of me holding the broken stud..... but well I can think of more than a few jokes that could result in.

[ca18detgabby]

so I want to replace ALL of the vac lines well my car is up on blocksa nd such........ what size vac lines do I want to get?

is there a kit? I read in one of the FAQs raretrick used to sell turbo hoses, but now that link doesnt work at all.

[zero_gripS13]

rare trick is no more .

for vac line just snip a lil section of the hose u want and goto autozone or ur choice and ask for several feet of each sample then goto town... before my motor goes in the intake manis going to AZ and im replacing every hose ill be cutting up radiator hoses and **** tillits alld one since ill never find replacements for them..then ill just keep track of all the part numbers for future needs

i tried that........ to say it was not successful...... is an understatement.

[Ca_Silvia]

Vacuum hose is a generic size, make sure you dont get washer fluid hose its mm's to big but looks very similar. I did that, had to do the whole job twice my knuckles never forgave me for it.

[r34 gtr]

You want Good Year fuel & emission hose, they carry it at the AZ. Go get you some 1/4"and 3/8". I'm not 100% on the sizes but I will check for you when I get home at 3:30 today.

If you can give me an idea of what size...... I can order pretty ones

I couldnt find a place that even understood that size matter, they just told me to buy bigger and use a zip tie

the boys at mazworx always take great care of me......

yeah but i think that the vibe u like and wanted to give off anyway

but yeah i know that trick, i used it to reuse the stud from the water pump since the replacement ones were not correct...workspretty well

i would suggest socking the SOB with PB blaster if u can and then go at it...

[r34 gtr]

I forgot you probably have 20 more vacuum lines than me.

1/4" for the wastegate and BOV and whatnot

3/16" or 1/8" (1/8 seems like it might be too small) for the FPR, MAP sensor, and boost gauge.
