[QUOTE="CHOP SHOP, post: 1315269, member: 17493"] I wopuldnt waste time on old broken ones. get a stock knuckle with good studs in it and do a 5th stud on it. Notice the ones that are good at getting them out are always breaking them. Once they get loose they eat on the cast threads in the knuckle untill a few of them are loose enough to break or pull out. It will keep happening if the hole has been wore at all. A stud is not like a bolt. A stud is great in cast iron so you can fully thread it in before any force has been put on an arm yet. Alot of times the loose ones will work the stud out of the knuckle a thread or two at a time and then when you tighten it back down more threads are sticking out of the nut indicating it isnt in the knuckle as deep any more. EVERY TIME A STUD IS THREADEDED IN OR OUT OF A KNUCKLE IS EATING SOME CAST THREADS OUT.:booo: Helicoils suck asss too. If a knuckle has been trashed, toss it, it will keep giving you hell till you get rid of it and get a virgin one. A backwards bit and an easy out and a 4 new TG studs is more than a used virgin knuckle. a Used knuckle can easliy be found for 30-40 bucks here or on Craigs List. TG studs are NOT ARP. ARP is a fastner brand, not a style of stud. ARPs are superior to TG studs. A virgin knuckle and a 5th stud works in my shop everytime. I do this ALOT.:beer: [/QUOTE]
