Author Message   Vortec57 Posted on Sunday, July 06, 2008 - 12:58 am:        Have a broken exhaust stud I need to get out of my XB9R. Anyone have a tool I could borrow/rent for a few days?   Vortec57 Posted on Tuesday, July 08, 2008 - 05:20 pm:        anyone?   Mikej Posted on Tuesday, July 08, 2008 - 05:29 pm:        Try posting over in the PayItForward thread, whereever that thread is hiding. Or try calling some of the folks on the Rider's Assistance Network for your region. One of those tools is on my "someday" list.   Jeffb Posted on Tuesday, July 08, 2008 - 06:38 pm:        The best trick I know of is to weld a nut to the stud. I heats the head, burns out any loctite that may be there and gives a good hex to turn on.

It sort of worked, but I should have bought the Jims tool. You need more then the flange, you need something that will center and hold the flange on the exhaust port. And the flanges have lots of play around the studs, so just bolting up one side does not line you up. The Jims tool has solved all of these problems already.
