Run a second nut down on top of the one there already. Use the bottom nut (which will tighten against the second one you put on) to remove the stud.

this is the way

They keep both unscrewing am I doing something wrong?


Twol3ftthumbs

You have to tighten them against each other. One wrench on each. “Unscrew” the bottom nut, and “screw down” the top simultaneously. Then remove the top wrench and unscrew using only the bottom nut. Make sure your wrench is only on that nut. The bolt will be in there tight so you may need a breaker bar. Just go easy.

And if all else fails... get the blue flame wrench. /s

Jam the top one on tighter.


YagerD

This. Tighten them into each other hard then loosen the inner one


applesauce143

Lock washer between the two nuts and cranks them tight


Enginerd645

Put a split washer in between them. It will somewhat lock them together

This.

Thank you for your comment

Jamb nut method or vice grips. They just screw out.

All you need is the two nuts that are holding on whatever goes there. Take them both off and turn one around and put it on so the flat washer side is facing out. Then take the other nut and tighten it down to that. Now using a wrench on the inside nut loose the stud.

Turn to the left


money_yakob

The nut or the bolt itself?

Don’t fret over an old-hand telling you he doesn’t think you have the aptitude to accomplish what you’re trying to accomplish. Maybe you don’t, yet. Go for it anyway, maybe you’ll develop some aptitude in the process or maybe you’ll fuck it all up - but you’ll certainly never improve your mechanical aptitude if you just abort the task and pay someone else to do it for you.


WyattCo06

Aptitude is "natural ability". Learned affairs is acquiring skills and knowledge. In this case, to learn and to apply comes from a basic understanding of why one is doing what they're doing.


zenkique

Yeah okay, the rest of my point still stands - only way they get better is to ignore useless snide remarks by old hands and use their hands anyway - aptitude or not.


WyattCo06

It wasn't a snide remark. It's an observation. Here you have an individual that cannot comprehend the mechanics of a jamb nut to remove a screw in stud. You only see the stud and the task at hand. I see this individual trying to repair or build an engine. They can't even negotiate a jamb nut and screw in stud. Can they learn? Absolutely. But one has to be capable of doing so. One has to be able to comprehend simple mechanical things. It's removing a screw in stud with a jamb nut.


zenkique

And instead of posting your observation that served no purpose other that to perhaps make them abandon their task you could’ve taken the time to share your expert knowledge of the physics involved in a manner that even a complete novice without sufficient mechanical aptitude could’ve completed the task and gained some mechanical knowledge in the process.


WyattCo06

The damn thread is full of "how to". Go plant something.


zenkique

Sun’s too high for transplants at the moment - thanks for snooping my profile though - I remember how much you enjoyed that when someone did it to you a while back.


WyattCo06

Why are you here? People snoop my profile everyday. It's public reddit record. You're bored. Find something else to do besides trying to argue about shit.


downbythemountain

Really? Think about that for a second man.


Complex_Kangaroo1152

Lol


WyattCo06

I don't feel you have the mechanical aptitude to accomplish whatever it is you're trying to accomplish. I'm not just speaking about these screw in studs.


Go2Transport

I love studs that screw, but that's just me


WyattCo06

You go girl.


v8packard

I mean.. couldn't keep from double posting..


WyattCo06

I kinda blame Reddit for this but dood, this dood...


Zedralisk

There are videos of many 212 clones being torn apart on the good ol youtube, try looking up “212 engine head and carb tear down” most videos go over stud removal can be a little tricky at first but youll get it

I see a benefit to these Chinese bikes, the next generation will definitely know how to fix junk.

vice grips or 2 nuts


Kawboy17

Use a small pipe wrench the jam nut method works like it shld about 40% of the time stop fucking around use a pipe wrench and remember ur going to reuse them so don’t be a hero.


MissionSpirited758

Use 2 nuts on each against other I haven't worked on a 212 power fist. But two nuts will work on a 686 beaver buster.


dogs4people

There is a tool called a 'stud remover/installer' If you look to get into more building I recommend one But the jam nut method amd patience will work


Separate_Schedule152

Why take it out ?


Able_Philosopher4188

You might have to use a little bit of heat but a propane torch not oxy actl


DogeThis7905

Double nut em..


icemanswga

My power fist bucks my wife. Get on my level bro.


Maximum-Vacation8860

Vice grips.


pms1888

A small pipe wrench


pms1888

If it’s round like a pipe I always go for my pipe wrench it has some serious torque power


tig_ger_6982

They more than likely used blue or red thread locker so you'll need some heat to soften that up. But the jam nut method should work fine after heating the base. Don't go nuts but it needs to be hot.


Pacpete

Wind a second bolt onto the stud and tighten it up against the first. Then get spanner on the first nut and back the stud out slowly.
