THREADED AREA REPAIR AND STUD REPLACEMENT
Repair and Replacement
(1) Repair defective threaded areas on studs
with a suitable die or tap. Small nicks can
be removed satisfactorily with files or small,
edged stones.
(2) Replace defective studs with a collet grip
tool, or other appropriate tool.
(a) If stud is broken and tool cannot be
used, drill a hole into the stud to use a
pilot bushing. A stud extractor may then
be utilized to remove the stud.
(b) After defective stud is removed, check
hole threads for damage. Repair or
reject as required. Also check thread
size to determine replacement stud
thread size.
(c) Use compressed air to clean out
shavings prior to installation of new
stud.
