Hi Ray,
Thanks for the clarification - on new or reusable studs, I would not use
a vice grip, but Bud said his broke off. If there's enough thread left to
double nut it, great.
In my motorcycle experience another thought come to mind, and I don't
know if this happens with TDs. Check the studs thoroughly for "necking down"
if reusing studs. This indicates that the stud has stretched, causing the
metal to become brittle, and it should be replaced. Anyone heard of this
with MGs?
