[TR] KROIL

[Rochlin Robert]

	I’m with Marty.  When I rebuilt my TR6 engine I had broken off exhaust header stud I couldn’t get it out without the risk of braking off what remained of the stud. I didn’t think it would work, but to my great relief it did.
	Heated the stud area, melted some wax into the stud base and I was able to turn it free.  
	Best,
	Bob

But whenever I have a stubborn bolt nut stud, whatever, that I just cannot get out I remember the old school candle wax method. I go dig out the stub of a candle in the back of my tool box, apply some heat to the culprit, touch it with the candle and let it cool for a bit and wick the wax down around the treads and WALA, the offending culprit always seems to come out and I think, dang, why didn't I try this hours ago. It really does work!
