the MS290 bar stud graveyard
Jeepers Fish, you could have made a slight investment in the Bar Stud puller and saved all those studs. I've never seen anyone use the "jam nut" tactic described here, but I'd like to see it if it works. Personally I just hook up my half inch drive ratchet and the bar stud remover and it's out in less than 30 seconds. But I'm watching with interest here

Just messing with ya. Before I had the special socket to remove that dayumm stud I used to use vice grips and then just replace the stud. I read somewhere about the double nut method and I tried it and I was surprized it actually worked without damaging anything. That method will do in a pinch but the socket made for that stud is the best way to do it...

My stud remover still marrs them up a bit, since I am doing this for resale, I don't even waste the time.
THall, you pretty well proved my point.

You can do it the double nut way, but it boogers the threads on the stud and nut, and I can't sell the nuts like that.
If you can't spin them on and snug by hand, then they is "Boogered".

I'm with ya and agree. That method should only be used when you have no other choice. Its ok in a pinch but by no means the correct way its suppose to be done..
Nice va diddy o Master, gotta love the King... I have used the double nut method on many occasions...but with metric nuts that don't cost much... I do not recommend to use them Stihl bar nuts as they are a bitty too expensive....., cheap ya know...LOL.

No need to tell me what I already know, yes your a cheapie, you do ride a BMW bike though so your not as cheap as you claim so I forgive ya,hehe
That two nut method is by no means endorsed by me. It should only be used if you have no other way available to get the stud out. My co-worker and me just did that to show what a two nut method is. Durn shame we didn't have some lady folk in the room , we could have showed other variations of the two nut method,:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:
