I guess then you don?t have/can't borrow a stud extractor? (the tubular type is
better) If it's that tight you're likely to end up snapping it off. Possibly
recut a slightly smaller thread?

Subject: [Healeys] Stripped Water Pump Stud
G?day
Had a half hour to spare this afternoon so I thought I would fit the new water
pump to the BN3?s six-cylinder engine.
Of the four nuts, three tightened without a problem. but I managed to strip the
thread the stud thread on the fourth.
Normally I would use the twin nut method, but with the stud stripped that?s not
possible. So what to do? My 40+ year old vice-grips (mole-grips) can?t handle
the strain and I don?t have a welder to weld on a nut, nor do I have an
extractor.
Was thinking about filing the end of the stud flat on two sides and using a
crescent wrench or what we call a shifting spanner. Any experienced advice out
there?
Many thanks
