Review on πŸ› οΈ Powerbuilt 647794M Stud Extractor: High-Quality and Reliable Extraction Tool, 1 Pack by Drew Gengler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Broken water pump bolt removed in minutes

Water pump bolt rusted in water jacket. Upon removal, the corrosion lodged in the bolt's threads, causing the bolt to seize and break. Soak both sides of the bolt in PB Blaster for about 3 days while you wait for the tool to arrive. Place the tool on the exposed screw, rotate 1/2 inch until snug, then slowly remove the screw. It's a lot easier than drilling and EZ Out!. I highly recommend trying this tool before going down the "bolt drilling" route. Very happy with the purchase. I would recommend using a 1/2 ratchet and socket on the outside of the tool to turn it. I don't think I could put enough force on the tool with a 3/8 ratchet on the inside of the tool. Maybe if you have a 3/8 breaker it will work.
