Happy New Years everyone.
I do live under rock so the reference was great lol.
So I have a stuck nut on the down pipe. I do not own a nut splitter or stud extractor but am willing to purchase one. I am continuing to let it soak in penetrating oil but do any of you have a nut splitter and stud extractor that you have had good success with? I see a few different styles and have never used any of them.
Maybe a cut off wheel would work better? Torch?

What Would Glenn Danzig Do
You're playing with fire. Which bolt is it? Get a longer wrench for more leverage

I have gotten a good tight fit with my 6 point but it is starting to round the edges.
I don’t have a long 16mm wrench but will certainly run out and get one if it will help.

Yep go get one. Much much less hassle than trying to cut it off or snap the stud

Those are purdy!! Yeah I Though I had plenty of tools but apparently not.
I am afraid that if I force the nut off Too much that it will snap the stud. That’s why I was thinking a nut splitter might be good so I can just crack the nut in half. I did get a long ratcheted wrench that I am going to try.

Lots of pb and crack it with force, I've done a lot of downpipes and never snapped a stud. May the force be with you

You da man Jay ?Whole stud came out but she didn’t break!!!
So I’ll be going to get some replacement studs sometime this week. How do you recommend removing them? I see they make a special socket for easy removal for like $20.
