i wonder if anyone can help me!??? i have a 1995 nissan s14a which is my pride and joy but unfortunately i jacked the back end up of her today tried to undo the rear drivers side subframe stud (bloody rust) and it completely sheered off thread and nut what do i do now HELP!!! lol is it a big job to fix or can i do it myself?????? thanks
Ouch! they are part of the shell so either reshell or you may have to drill through and use high tensile bolts (if you can find the right size) and bolt right through...
cut out a bit of the boot floor above the snap frame stud and hammer out the old snapped one and find someone breaking or scraping a shell ask nice and go get the stud. that's what i had done to my old one there a bit like big wheel stud in the way they fit into the chassis rail
a mate said to me that i can do it myself but i dont have a clue, he said you can remove it and weld another in but id rather get a garage to do it... expensive fix or..??
it has collars on the rear at the moment and ive seen some people remove them completely so there is part off the thread showing and screw anothe bolt on lol?? would this be idea or stupid question
yes im trying to get price on how much its going to cost.. keep spending all this money and something else pops up!! lol
Damn dude sorry to hear that you snapped one. Would you not be able to get it welded and re threaded professionally?
I snapped my s13 one, I cut a hole in back above the chassis leg it's located inside and got drilling the head, took about 4 hours and loads of drill bits. I was told that it was welded in place hence the drilling but after some hammer time it popped out. It's on splines so it should pop out with just a good blow. I found a lad on here breaking an s13 and asked him if he could cut the section that the bolt is in and id remove the stud myself. Plenty of heat and a nice sharp hit with a big hammer and it came out.
On s14's they are spot welded in. Grind the welds with a dremmel and use a big hammer. The hardest but is getting a new one. If its one of the rear studs you may have more trouble removing them.
That looks annoying. Bad luck man :/ On Old Toyota's like mine, the subframe studs are also big bolts which have a short thread just underneath the hex head, They go through the floor from inside the car, and screw into Great big thick plates with a female thread cut into Them. Wouldn't be too hard to knock up a similar thing if it keeps happening, but by looks of things, all you need to do is to smack the snapped stud upwards with a decent punch and a BFH
