    I'm a Stud

    Cleaned up the stud / thread interface and soaked the area with penetrating for 24 hours. Still wouldn't budge using the double nut method. Got it toasty with a propane torch and let it cool. Douched the stud with the entire contents of an inverted can of compressed air until it became super...

    I'm a Stud

    OK.........thanks indiuction heater idea scrapped. I preferring to do the most "non-invasive" and gentle means possible welding and extreme heat would be a last resort.

    I'm a Stud

    Yeah, I know it's not a fire arm but we've all been here once or twice. I've looked on various PM sub forums before I landed here. I have stud seized by rust in an aluminum motorcycle case. I've made various attempts to remove this part by; cleaning it up followed by applications of heat...

    Separtaing brazed parts

    My thanks to those who have chimed in here. Heat and a smart love tap separated the parts beautifully. Now for going back together....... Although I'm comfortable with my TIG skills on aluminum and steel, no experience with TIG brazing. The piece was originally sweated together, as there are...

    Separtaing brazed parts

    Hello john.k and magnetic.......... Thanks for those tips. Didn't know any of that. As stated, I have zero experience brazing. Residual braze remains on the separated parts. If I go the braze route, can I leave that "cleaned up" residual and use it as a tinning (as in a tinned solder joint) ?

    Separtaing brazed parts

    Thanks for that, John. Didn't know that about copper contamination. Would have preferred to braze it back together. I have zero experience with brazing, going back together it's going to have to be TIG. I'll be using 0.045" ER70S6 rod.

No large flat surface areas are involved. Picture the contact area of the brazed joints to be that of a "T" joint of...
