Any advice on how to remove a carb stub from the manifold. It seems to be well and truly stuck in there.
:) :) :) :)
Is it broken off or just gnurgled.
Is the manifold still on the engine
Broken off---Weld a washer smaller than the stud diameter onto broken stud. Let it cool then weld a nut onto the washer. You now effectively have a bolt and the heat from the weld shout have loosened it.
Gnurgled stud stiil manifold remove manifold from engine give the stud lots of hotness then put the stud in the vise and turn the manifold off the stud. Take it gently so as not to break stud off.

Hi Mike it's knurled. Will try removing manifold option.
Thanks.
I have a set of stud extractors which makes removing mangled studs a piece of cake. My alternative approach is simply to use a pair of mole grips, if necessary, after applying a bit of heat although, in this case, they shouldn't take much persuading as they are screwed into an alloy manifold.
Worth a try before removing manifold.
I couldn't get it out, so I have just recut the thread. I will look out for a replacement at the next auto jumble.
