Wax Value

Posted by JMS/MN on October 19, 2005 at 11:36:43 from (204.73.106.15):

I'm a firm believer in using wax to help with broken stud removal, etc. This morning I had a stubborn half-moon key in the separator fan shaft on the M2 combine. Heated with the Smith wrench, would not budge with whacking from a 3 lb hammer and punch, before or while cooling. Applied candle wax, gave it a few minutes, and the chisel popped it out. Same treatment for broken studs, especially in castings. Heat the CASTING until the bolt turns red, apply wax while cooling. Done many manifold bolts that way. (If you're Catholic- use a Blessed candle- might make up for the cursing done right after twisting off the bolt!).
