As an old wrench turner, I have to say I am impressed at the patience you showed with those exhaust studs. . Heat cycles and road mung, Steel and aluminum, age and mileage., then throw in impatience. A formula for disaster and you were only missing the high mileage & impatience. Good Show.

@Moonfleet41 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks mate, I think this is one of those perfect demonstrations of where patience really is a virtue... plus, of course, as you will know yourself, a fair bit of experience at knowing what they feel like when they're about to snap and being able to stop short and go back the other way!

Exhaust studs, the pain of every home mechanic! Heat is always the best option.

Hi Dellboy, so I have just managed to get all 4 exhaust stud nuts of my 95 Dyna wide Glide by using the same kit as you used in this video . Very pleased as I can actually still use the studs. Thanks again for the advice and also thanks for all the other advice from your great videos. Cheers. Ride safe. Chris.

The rusty coolant issue had already been mentioned here but in addition to the steel cylinder liners being a source of rust, the cylinder head bolts can also contribute. The bolts pass through the water jacket and can rust, especially where the threaded portion and shoulder meet, right where they screw into the upper crankcase. If the coolant change regimen is really badly neglected, these bolts can corrode so badly that they’ll snap when you got to undo them. Understandably, this is a King Kong sized pain in the arse to rectify, so changing the coolant every two years is a must. It’s also a lot safer to use an ethylene glycol based coolant, as the newer OAT type coolants have been known to delaminate the O/E head gaskets too.

@andigossweiler1551 4 жыл бұрын

And yes, radiator fins are never out of steel, impossible. Either cooper or aluminum. The rust must be come from the steel sleeves of the cylinders, like Fulsten already mentioned.

@JamesMcCreadie71 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Del. My Tiger took me all day. I took the forks and rad off, then hung the bike over the edge of the drive, got a seat and a garden umbrella, it was raining again. I bought a stud extractor, a multi tool electric saw and some pretty strong penetrating oil. No dramas but was hard, like you say, go steady. My Bandit 1200 was a different story, that went to a local machine shop, after all the local mechanics turned me away. I was fortunate the engineer was a biker, he only charged me £80 and a box of tissues for his tears. He said that no nuns were seen 100 miles from his shop while he was working on it. Funny!

I bought a 2000 Legend TT with only 7300 miles on it in March so your videos are very timely for me. I've really enjoyed this bike although I re-jetted the carbs after throwing on pods. That was a trick modifying the bike to leave enough air box to mount on the chrome "900" covers.

@fredriksalmen5159 4 жыл бұрын

I did a similar thing, cut the airbox completely open, added a K&N filter, 3-1 exhaust and re-jetting. Went from the stock ~65rwhp to 82rwhp.

Del, I always change the coolant in my venerable old Goldwing GL1100 every two years, and refill using Type 2 Honda brand ready mixed coolant. The old coolant always runs out very clear but I think that’s down to adhering to regular changes and flushing the system out before refilling. As for removing heavily corroded nuts or studs, no matter how many you are removing, there is always ONE that will be an absolute pig to get out! Good luck with the rest of the build.

The rad will be fine. Rust is from barrels (wet liner) pump impeller or most importantly the head bolts, they can be known to corrode and snap. Primarily exhaust side on #1lowest point. Didn't see you drain the block. Stainless dome bolts on studs are the answer.

@Moonfleet41 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah, so I'm hearing, I may switch over to waterless coolant for this one, if there's so much ferrous metal internally to cause problems, it's the weapon of choice these days for many vintage and classic car owners with precious ancient engines... dome nuts is a great plan, possibly copper nuts too, the studs won't rust this time being stainless, all details for the future.

Stainless steel studs and nuts once tight will be very difficult or impossible to remove unless anti seize is used when assembling. The reason is that they gall each other upon tightening. This has been known about since ww2 you have all been warned! I worked with stainless Steel for years especially 316. Stainless is softer than decent mild steel.

Never ever use stainless steel studs as exhaust bolts. Stainless studs in aluminum are prone of corroding and can never be removed, especially exposed to heat. Use normal steel grade 12.9 inbus (allen) bolts (the black ones), cutoff the head, and mount back with copper plated steel nuts, use ceramic paste.

For what it's worth, I recently watched a KZfaq video where, as a last resort, an impact drill/driver was used on stubborn rusted bolts. The theory is that a sudden, abrupt shock of torque will often brak said rusted bolt free. I am from a dryer climate than you have is the U.S and rust that sever as I've seen on several of your project bikes is uncommon. I've been watching a KZfaqr that collects non-running CB Four models, like the 350F, the 550F, and the 750Fs ) from the early 1970s and gets them running after they have sat for as long as 35 to 40 years. (They are very popular to collect and restore in the U.S.) While there is a somewhat rusted bolt, the rust isn't caked on like your bikes. Even you later model Harley's have a serious amount of rust. Is that due to all the rain that you get over there, or do they use road salt? (The road salt does seem unlikely to me). We do see a tremendous amount of rust and corrosion on vehicles from the Mid West and East Coast, where they salt the roads every winter. Thank you for your fine channel.

@Moonfleet41 4 жыл бұрын

If all you need to do is break free a frozen bolt that's internally healthy, then an impact gun is fine, but when bolts are this badly corroded, the integrity of the fastener is compromised, and whatever it's original torque setting may have been, would now be more than enough to snap it clean off... it's simply physics, when the twisting force you apply to the bolt is greater than it's ability to resist it, and when the grip on the thread is also greater than the bolt's ability to resist it, then it's guaranteed to snap, and if you're applying impact on top of that, then it'll certainly snap... with fragile bolts like this, the only safe method to remove them, if even possible, is gently persuasion and working them backwards and forwards to gently free up the grip of the thread, constantly working under the torque level of the bolt's snapping point... and yes, we salt our roads every winter here and then the moderate, temperate climate we have, it's fairly wet as well... and don't forget Ron, the manufacturer's stupid decision to fit mild steel studs in the first place! Thanks for your kind comments, have a great week there!
