Hey guys.

I just came in from the (warm) garage trying to remove studs from my sled. I don't think I have ever said more cuse words. I get one or two then one or two won't come out. Any advice on how to get them. The hex part on the stud is stripped and the dang thing just spins. I have tried to grab hold with vise grip but that is no good. HELP! I sm going to cut the motherF'ers off next!

Hi Cory.

Tom and I started out using a drill with a socket on it. Only about 50% of the nuts would come off this way, I used a vice grip and a wrench on the rest. It was a tedious job.........

I want them gone so I can ride the state trail that is at the bottom of our hill.


They look like me, studly! They have a female hex head on bottom and are threaded with a 1/2" nut on the top. The hex threads are crappy on almost all of them.

Can you get at it with an angle grinder or cut-off wheel?

Hey Mike, where is the best spot to remove them. I am at the back of the sled by the snowflap. It seems to work ok, kinda tight.

You can ride the state trails with studs. About the only one I have heard of that you cannot is the Paul Bunyan trail and that's because it is paved.

That is my next option. I think that is going to be the only way on some of them. Grind the dang things into powder!
